"We must design free hardware. But the question remains: how?"
In his first of three articles on hardward designs, Richard Stallman explained "Why We Need Free Digital Hardware Designs." In this, his second article, he shows us "How to Make Hardware Designs Free": he spells out the practical differences between software and hardware as far as user freedom is concerned, explains how to make hardware free, touches on the intricacies of licensing in this field, and elaborates on the most effective way to promote free hardware designs.
