1. Week Assignments
Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project
Complete your final project, tracking your progress:
- what tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
- what's working? what's not?
- what questions need to be resolved?
- what will happen when?
- what have you learned?
2. Prior Knowledge
I have released software under a Free and Open Source licenses before.
3. Work!
3.1. Dissemination
The work I have produced for Fab Academy as a student in 2026 can be used, copied, modified, merged, and published by anyone, because I hope people can learn from it, and see how much fun and interesting Fab Academy is. This includes all code, 3D models, and other CAD sources shared here.
However, when material is copied from here, I would like attribution. So, the copyright notice and licensing terms must be included in all copies.
The best matching licenses for these requirements (I know of) are as follows: all software is covered by the MIT License, all hardware designs by CERN-OHL-P-2.0, and all documentation, photos, screenshots, and videos are covered by CC BY 4.0.
I've update the README.md to reflect this and the copyright message in the generated documentation.
3.2. Complete your final project
Yeah, yeah, I'm on it…
