What does it mean to license something in a way that works for you and your project? Does this fall under copyright or a patent? (The answer may surprise you!)

We start by going over the scope of permissivity regarding licenses, beginning with the most open type of license available and progressing from there. There is a lot to unpack here, so get ready to get educated!

Pricing your product can be a daunting task. Set the price too high, and you risk alienating potential customers. Set it too low, and you may find yourself struggling to sustain your business.

Also, Stephen was super wrong in this episode: DRM is not "Digitally Restricted Media" but instead "Digital Rights Management"!

Ep. 21 - Incorporating Community Feedback
Open Hardware Manufacturing Podcast
05/30/24 • 59 min
Trying to find the best way to incorporate community feedback can be tough, especially when that feedback is criticism. You have to be the director of your project's path, know where it has to go, and be opinionated. You have to assume they mean well in their criticism and you need to really show off the work that was done when a community member adds something to the project.
