Open Hardware Month is upon us once again and we are shifting towards certification. As we cope with the ongoing pandemic open hardware has been an instrumental tool to finding solutions for a variety of healthcare devices and we are proud that our database has grown with many of them being certified.
We are also so excited that board member Jeffrey Woo has created an Open Source Facts Generator similar to a nutritional facts label. This generator helps you declare the licenses used in your project using a format similar to the US Nutrition Facts Label. Listing your licenses in one prominent place (such as the README of your repository) helps users immediately know what they can and can’t do with your source, rather than having to browse through individual files.
Stay safe this October and certify your projects!
