 able to use or modify the licensed material. The concept of ‘open-source
 hardware’ or ‘open hardware’ is not yet as well known or widespread as
 the free software or open-source software concept. However, it shares
 the same principles: **anyone should be able to see the source (the
 design documentation in case of hardware), study it, modify it and share
