Welcome ! Qi Hardware Ben NanoNote Qi Hardware is copyleft hardware. Copyleft hardware is hardware where all information needed for its production is free. You are left with physical goods on one side, and free information on the other side. The Qi Hardware project builds the most advanced copyleft hardware in the world. Find out what makes good copyleft hardware, how you can benefit from it, and how you can contribute. There are a few examples of Copyleft Hardware such as the Arduino, the mini computer called Ben NanoNote, and upcoming Milkymist One. Welcome to the world of copyleft hardware!

There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free or you are not free. --Walter Cronkite.
