The goal of this post is to provide a hub to discover some powerful internet resources out there.

For example here’s one I wanted to share.

  • Open Source Ecology is a project for open source hardware that is significantly cheaper than retail costs. Some of the equipment include open source designs for CNC machines, windmills, tractors, plasma cutters, power supplies, motors, generators, and much more!

    Might be a stupid question, but I’d there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?

      As long as you control the patent, you’re the one who determines who can make it. I’m not sure if there’s a license that provides a boilerplate version of that, but it’s certainly something you’d be allowed to do with your patent.
