>full of grifters who take open source hardware and sell it assembled

WTF is this attitude? and I dont mean people actually manufacturing hardware. I mean your reaction to it. Even Terriblefire, author of "open source" Amiga accelerators, got mad [1] someone had the gall to manufacture his designs for people unable to solder/compile and as a result deleted all of his work from the internet and vanished. WTF is this?

If you dont like people making money manufacturing your projects then ....manufacture them yourself cheaper?

[1] complaining about someone in a country with <700 Euro average engineer salary manufacturing and selling something a guy in UK making 3000-8000 pounds cant be bothered to waste time on.
