  Never mind, I'll stick to my statement and will ignore him.

  However, I'm happy to read today there is more activity in the
open-hardware front:

"So, what makes Thelio open hardware? The Thelio design we’ve worked on
for three years is open source. That means anyone can study, modify,
distribute, make, and sell the design. You can send the design files to
a metal shop to make your own Thelio. You can adapt the design for your
needs. Open source hardware is the physical version of open source
software. We believe it’s important to apply the same passion we have
about software freedom to the hardware itself. The open hardware
community is young and small compared to open source software. We hope
adding Thelio and Thelio Io to the ranks of open hardware will encourage
others to join the movement and make their designs free as well. We’re
very excited to see what people will do with free hardware designs. This
is relatively new territory."


  I am yet to see what they've done so far, but it seems they are close
to start production.

  Forget it, it was straight on their home page:
