@hackaday I don't think that's true, actually. I think businesses find it difficult to tangle with a global economy in decline and the legal and economic structures in their own countries that are hostile to their success in favor of much larger business interests (who export manufacturing and import cheap consumer goods)

A lot of people are angry at China for having an "unfair advantage" in their market, but a product being OSHW or not has no bearing on that.

@hackaday I really like the spirit of Open Source. I've been lucky enough to work on OSHW for my entire career. I just think people who get upset over Chinese competition are learning the wrong lesson.

I think Prusa and everyone else have to decide whether Open Source is the _right_ thing to do or not—ethically—and then take umbrage with whatever organization of the economy is making it hard to make an ethical living.
