They will use CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Which means it’s not open source, and no-one else can sell replacement cartridges, parts etc.

It might still be a good printer and enjoyed by some, but it really annoys me when companies mix these terms up, almost certainly deliberately.

The only complex part of the hardware is the HP cartridge controller, and you have at least part of the work here: hackaday.io/project/…/details

The cartridges are a HP design. The CC license is the smallest problem here.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Isn’t it about documentation or design rather than code or hardware? Typically CC isn’t used for software or hardware.

    Thanks I addressed that seconds ago lemmy.world/post/36926543/19781367 and my bet is that it’s an omission, so I asked on CS Discord just in case but yes people should be mindful of that before the crowd funding campaign start. Hopefully it’ll be fixed.
