Just a few weeks out from going live with Violet on Github, we zoomed it up with open-source hardware legal expert, uber-active OSHWA board member, and general benevolent advisor to OpenAir, Michael Weinberg. Michael, currently the Executive Director of NYU Law School’s Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy, offers his informed practical takes on open-source hardware’s origins, the state of OHL licensing, and why OSHWA certification is a good idea. Enjoy!
