<p>Will you tell us that a machine that is sold for 3000/3500
dollars and was produced from a design that was basically "given
for free" is within the framework of a non commercial agreement?</p>
<p>It is hard to believe it when Apache labs tried to sell obsolete
hermes lite 2 boards for TWICE the price that was planned by the
original author.</p>

<p><br>
</p>
<p>To me the reality is that the openhpsdr project has a commercial
agreement with apache labs to produce the boards, and everything
is wrapped in a curtain of "open sourcery" that claims anyone is
free to build their own board if they please.<br>
</p>
<p>True, but in practice, no one wants to replicate a hard work that
was already done.</p>
<p>It would have been better if the gerbers had been contributed
back to the community.</p>
<p>I dont expect people to agree with me. But there are established
situations that are worth looking at with a fresh eye.<br>
