The Open Source Hardware logo

Open source hardware is defined by the Open Source Hardware Association as a term for tangible artifacts – machines, devices, or other physical things – whose design has been released to the public in such a way that anyone can make, modify, distribute, and use those things.[1]

Without restrictions

Releasing designs under a CC-BY-NC-SA licence, preventing commercial use of them is not compatible with the OSHW definition.[1][2][3]

Documentation must be easily obtainable, design files must be in CAD format and not in an intermediate format such as PDF.[1]
