And as another Olimex blog post makes clear - you won't get noticed or copied until you are selling thousands.

And if you are noticed, then it doesn't matter what sort of licence you applied - you will be copied if there is profit to be made from the operation.

So why give your designs away in such a fashion? You only antagonise people who want open/free/libre designs, and you stop not one single greedy or selfish person! Go all the way towards freedom, and you will have a bunch of users who will make your stuff better with you, not moan about the license!

Kind regards

I'm going to stick my neck out here as someone who regularly makes NC and ND contribution to the community. It's unhelpful and unpleasant having people class your work as second class because of some other peoples' arbitrary redefinition of the word open. There are a lot of greedy and selfish people out there and my efforts to put my works in the public domain are for then general good and not to fuel such people who offer nothing to society in return.
It doesn't mean that my efforts can never be moved forward or turned to profit but it does allow me to vet the intentions of those that I let do so.
