    Yeah, but that means people are going to want to wait until it’s open source which means less people will buy it initially. Maybe enough will buy before someone or something else comes along.

      For a local repair store the cost of the device isn’t that bad. I could be wrong, but I bet a lot of the initial purchases will be businesses and then once it becomes open source the tinkerers will go ham.
