Here's an example of something I'd be willing to collaborate on with a #BitAxe developer if only the power supply were #OpenSource. https://www.tindie.com/products/makerpals/usb-c-pd-power-delivery-board-65w/
Here are the problems:
1. Shipping costs more than the power supply itself.
2. I'd want to merge this PCB with the BitAxe board
I'll always send bitcoin royalities back to the creator if I am selling something they designed. This is just the sensible thing to do. Even setting aside ethics and legalities, it'd just be foolish to burn a bridge with the person you depend on. You know that's just going to result in a non-commercial clause in the next thing. Plus, even if it didn't, you suffer if the dev can't afford to keep making cool stuff.
I mean, just do the math. If I can ship them for $7 less and produce them at a cost comparable to their price, there's $7 we can split between me, the developer, and any software developer who made any of the libraries or tools that we depend on. Sure, it's only going to be like $1 per person per unit, but nobody except me has to do any additional work. It seems like a no-brainer.
