Would it be a good idea to have the design files (gerber, etc) in the fossil repo next to the source code so that all of the files related to the PiDP-8 are next to each other in one place, and also versioned?
I suppose Oscar should declare a particular license to make it all official.The Creative Commons ones come to mind first, but I don't know the exact ins and outs of those.
In general, I think one of the open source licenses is better as that keeps the files from being closed up, but your choice.
Does that imply the files are public domain?

If these are later explicitly released under some open hardware or free culture type license, I'll update the COPYING.md file accordingly.

I don't naturally spend brain cycles on legal tidbits
it's probably good to clarify it's open source.
I've never seen the PiDP-8 (hw) as an Open Source project
If he makes it Open Source when it reaches end of life, or orders have completely stopped, then it's his choice. I for one prefer to every once in a blue moon order an actual complete kit and not just make all of them myself (including all the iterations for errors and stupid mistakes... ;) )

Jonathan,You're right about that - in the US, you spend 7% of GDP on legal matters... whilst in Yurp we were very successful in wasting our GDP in other, but equally senseless, ways.I took the 2-question Creative Commons test. So I then put all the PiDP hardware, artwork and everything under the "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license. That supercedes any previous, less precise description.Done!Kind regards,Oscar.
I'd be disappointed if anyone just starts offering a 1:1 copy of the PiDP-8, that's a bit of an unproductive effort
I doubt anyone would feel it's a profitable way to spend their time.
Just, please, not a PDP-11 because I have 30.000 of the switches in my garage for when the PiDP-11 case is **finally** finished!
So, Warren, yes, in your repository put the Creative Commons on it if the license used for the software does not apply. I don't really care.
Please make sure to reply all.
