The open hardware and free software communities The open source community is a broad-reaching community of individuals who share an open source
Although in the beginning of the movement, a difference between hardware and software did not exist nowadays, we distinguish between the open source software community and the open source hardware
community. The individuals who participate in the former support the use of open source licenses that

The open source hardware and software communities Within this wider community, two movements can be identified: the open source software community and

Open Hardware Open source hardware consists of hardware whose blueprints are made publicly available so that anyone can study,
modify, distribute, make, extend, and sell the design or hardware based on that design. The hardware†s source, the design from which it is made,
is available in the preferred format for making mod -ifications to it. Ideally, open source hardware uses readily available components and materials, standard
processes, open infrastructure, unrestricted content, and open-source design tools to maximize the ability of individuals to make
and use hardware. Open source hardware gives people the freedom to control their technology while sharing knowledge and encouraging commerce through the open exchange of designs
