Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models

In Creative Commons (the open licensing organization par excellence), you can find any kind of existing license. After our class with the instructors and having visited this website I understood the differences between the existing licenses. So I decided to give this project an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, allowing anyone to reproduce and adapt my work as long as it is published under the same license and they have no economic purposes.

Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

NonCommercial — You may not use the material for commercial purposes.

ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

Future plan

Like any project, this one can be improved. So, I prefer my project to be OpenSource and Fabable for everyone who wants to continue working on it or enjoy it for pleasure. Anyone who is interested can surely contribute with hardware and software improvements, or apply some of the ideas that I didn't apply for time.

I also consider that, without being too complex, it has many qualities both in manufacturing methods and in type of communication and programming. So I think it can be a learning tool in many aspects.

For this project, being OpenSource is really important because if people are interested and start working with it we can create a tool for me.
