Nothing on the site is patented and the vast majority of sellers have their source code and documentation links available right there on the page Petrone says.

But a precipitous drop in prices#which some attribute to the rise of cell phones which made components cheap#is helping to lower the barrier to open source entry for hardware as are crowdsourcing platforms such as Kickstarter.#
