“Thank you Marcin for inventing an incredible machine that is going to build many homes in the future. I know you have spent hundreds of hours and much sweat and toil building it. I will buy a machine from you sometime in the future when I have a need. I can then copy the design or improve it freely thanks to your open license. Maybe you can possibly give me a discount if I spend tens of hours creating new documentation for you on my home computer!”

There. That sounds better.

Seriously now. This machine is an incredible first step. Marcin, don’t stress on the documentation. It will come together in time.

Maybe there should be a time limit for projects like this (like a year or so) before documentation gets released. This gives the inventor time to recoup his LABOR and MONEY investment from equipment sales.

If the inventor sells one or two machines and feels compensated, then he or she could release the docs early. It’s really up to the project inventors. It’s Marcin’s game. he gets to set the rules.

When you buy a car, you don’t complain to GM about not getting the blueprints. I know, closed source vs. open source blah blah.

This is the 21st century. People need to get fairly compensated…PAID for their ideas and labor….upfront.

Go down to MO and check out the machine for yourself. Buy one. Be happy the Marcin gives you license to replicate and improve the machine. There’s your open source.

Buy a GM car, then try to sell copies of it.

Bah, enough of all that.

Marcin, congratulations on the product release! I live in the land of Adobe brick. A few commercial machines are made here. They seem to be nowhere near what you have developed. I will be purchasing one of yours as soon as I get the cash together. In the future when I own some property locally I will only be building with Adobe. It’s the only real human way to build.
