The NCL is a separate license from the OHL.  Here is what the TAPR
website says about it:

"TAPR has created another license, the TAPR Noncommercial Hardware
License ("NCL"), which is identical to the OHL apart from adding a
limitation that products based on NCL designs may only be made for
noncommercial uses."

I want certain things for HPSDR also.  The problem is that your
wanting HPSDR to use an open source hardware license and then changing
the website to say that HPSDR uses the Open Hardware License is the
same kind of unilateral decision as me changing the hpsdr.org domain
to point to a new website.  It illustrates the problem of unilateral
decisions  - including removing a developer's access to the HPSDR Wiki
(does that sound familiar?).  I realize that we are all volunteers
here - this could have been better handled by private email, but I am
still waiting for a response and decision to a private email I sent to
you and Don...
