Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income¶
Dissemination¶
I plan to release my Final Project both here, in the Fab Academy documentation, as well as on github or symilar open source sharing platform, as wel as on thingyverse or other 3d model sharing platforms, linking back to eachother.
I see my final project as a great opotunity to learn about electronics and programming, as well as the other FabLab-able means of fabrication, in the production of a project that interests me. I know symilar projects exist and even commercialy avaliable solutions are abundant, to a degree. But I have never done anything like that, and I feel I have a lot to learn from them.
That said, I have little illusion that I can master all that needs to be learned in order to complete this task. In that sense, I know I will stand on the shoulders of much more knowlegeable people than me, hoping to learn from them, as well as all the ones closely helping me along.
Many of the projects that have inspired me are open-source, which means I can peek in and even try to adapt what I can in order for my project to be successful, or get close trying. So, in conclusion, I will license my project with all the attributions, of course, as an MIT license.
I find I have no interest in limiting the development or use of whatever I manage to achieve, in further development, commercially or otherwise. The MIT license is simple and permissive, and protects me from liability.
