Open Hardware Licenses

Many people (including myself) have not waited around for a specialized license to go around making open hardware. Common ‘subtitutions’ are GPL, Creative Commons, MIT, BSD and similar open licenses. While these licenses are often pretty good at stuff like firmware, or CAD drawings, they don’t take into account some of the differences with hardware, particularly patents and derivative works.
