I recently had a conversation with a colleague about #opensourcehardware and exploitation. I mentioned the recent @prusa post.

Today I learned of how Miniware has similarly exploited work by the community around the @PINE64 #pinecil in the development of their TS101. It seems Miniware is refusing to release schematics or code: https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS/discussions/1664#discussioncomment-5680597

I haven't investigated this further. Are things as they seem?

Why don't we treat these companies and products like the bad actors they are?
