Today, we are releasing the full CAD files for the CORE One and CORE One L frames.

There seems to be a custom licence.

The Restriction: You cannot commercially exploit the design files (selling the product or remixes) without a separate agreement.

The Protection: It includes an explicit patent license grant, protection against AI data mining, and a codified Right-to-Repair.

Most of the linked article is about the licence.

There’s been a lot of talk about Prusa turning evil. Maybe it’s a good step back.

    How would this be detrimental in a world where money didn’t exist?

    The licence says CONMERCIAL exploitation, aka building a product to sell. In a world with no money, there’s no commercialism. There’s no commercial exploitation possible because the prerequisite for a commercial operation is commerce, aka the trade of products/produce for money.
