they use the phrase "open source hardware". as in, it's okay to create hardware with built-in DRM locking, Tivoisation and other unethical traps that are disguised as "open" but in fact mislead people and entrap them.

that's not very helpful, al. please don't use sarcasm on this list in a derogatory way, or distract me from fulfilling my promises. there are plenty of other lists where that behaviour is acceptable: this isn't one of them.
just a couple of hours ago i sent a message explaining i am dealing with an enormous and completely overwhelming list of tasks in order to fulfil the promises and committments that have just been made to over 1,500 people. i don't appreciate having to deal with sarcastic remarks as a major distraction from any one of those tasks.
