• Alternative to the Patent IP structure !
• An option for sharing information !
• An attempt to proliferate innovation, quickly
OSHW: Why?
“Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design”.
OSHW: The Definition !

OSHW: Best Practices
!
!
* http://www.oshwa.org/sharing-best-practices/
1. Provide design files !
2. Allow modification and redistribution !
4. Publish documentation
A designer must…
1. Provide attribution when distributing or manufacturing !
2. Release their product as OSHW derivatives
A designer may…
1. Imply that the device is manufactured, tested, warrantied by the original designer !
2. Make use of trademarks owned by the original designer without permission
A manufacturer must not…
Use the Logo
How to create OSHW
Six Elements of OSHW Design
1. Hardware / mechanical designs

2. Electronic schematics / circuit diagrams
Six Elements of OSHW Design
3. BOM / parts list
Six Elements of OSHW Design
4. Diagram of physical layout of electronics
Six Elements of OSHW Design
5. Firmware for the processor
Six Elements of OSHW Design
6. API / drivers
Elements of Hardware Design
• Photos / drawings !
• Written instructions !
• Other explanations
Design Files can also include:
• Open source tools !
• Standard components
Designing the Hardware:
• Respect trademarks !
• Link to source files !
• Improve, don’t copy !
• Label Versions !
• OSHW logo
Distributing the Hardware:
!
Thingverse : 3D files !
Instructables : inventions !
Github : social coding !
Your website !
!
Repositories
VIRAL ATTRIBUTION
1. VIRAL: All derivatives remain OSHW !
2. ATTRIBUTION: credit is given to upstream designers / developers
