  • The PCB doesn’t do anything other than a compacted connector between components. Especially the surface mount component. Also, some devices can be more sensitive than others making it more prone to breaking during mishandling. If something on the pcb breaks (highly unlikely), then you can just solder using jumper wire (to some degree, high speed signals cannot be treated this way). However, if the component on the PCB is the one that breaks, then you can just replace that component with some careful solder works. But yes, sometimes replacing it will be easier than repairing





  • I think the 1% is so that a company didn’t shy away from open source completely. I don’t know how it will work for example if the company is using 5 of this license. Will they pay 5% or 1%? Probably 1%, but I didn’t see it addressed in the article. Anyway, since the cost is small for a big company, but can be huge in number for an individual, I think it is fair.

    Also, what if a contributor is acting on behalf of a company? Would the company receive the payment or the individual contributor? There is just so much to cover.
