In writing these (encouraged gently but firmly at the time by Pieter Muller) I was not "open-sourcing" but rather, attempting in some small way to follow Prof. Wirth's principle that by describing what was done, people would be able to understand, and not merely copy.
What a terrible approach. By that principle, the EEs should only publish photographs of their boards rather than schematics. I believe both are needed: The open source and the documentation. Trying to publish only one of these is like minting a coin with only one face but not the other. W.
