Today, we are releasing the full CAD files for the CORE One and CORE One L frames.

There seems to be a custom licence.

The Restriction: You cannot commercially exploit the design files (selling the product or remixes) without a separate agreement.

The Protection: It includes an explicit patent license grant, protection against AI data mining, and a codified Right-to-Repair.

Most of the linked article is about the licence.

There's been a lot of talk about Prusa turning evil. Maybe it's a good step back.

I'm far from the most knowledgeable on the subject, but I remember hearing something about one of their prospective printers not being listed as open source, and that they partnered with some Israeli company.

    Thanks for the info. I missed that. And although I can‘t say this is a huge thing by it‘s own I understand it leaves a bitter taste in some mouths.

    Personally I don‘t think it‘s good to see things so black and white. It‘s fair to say you‘re losing confidence over this but saying they‘re turning evil goes a bit far.
