 did that.... it's associated with the "OSHWA".

 they use the phrase "open source hardware".  as in, it's okay to
create hardware with built-in DRM locking, Tivoisation and other
unethical traps that are disguised as "open" but in fact mislead
people and entrap them.

 if they change the name to "libre hardware" - where we then also have
to define "hardware" as well (as it could refer to silicon, designs,
casework, or even just to "the manufacture of spoons" - nothing to do
with computers at all) i'll be more inclined to be involved.

 as it is i have so much to do over the next few months that i have to
decline... much as i am grateful that you brought it up, mike.  if
anyone else feels confident about writing something and presenting it
please feel free, i'll be happy to review it.
