Org and PID Request for Wee Noise Makers PGB-1 #950

Closed Fabien-Chouteau closed 3 weeks ago

Hello @tannewt, I plan to release the schematics of the production boards but it's not done yet.

I got confused by the instruction and I though either open-source software or hardware was enough to qualify.

Nope, the how-to page says:

If your project involves both hardware and software, both need to be licensed under recognised OSS and OSHW licenses.

I do allow PIDs for open software on third-party closed hardware because the hardware piece is out of control of the software dev. In your case, you are making the hardware and can fully open it for a PID. If you don't want to do that, then see the FAQ for other ways to get a USB PID.
