Other “Unofficial” Sources

As of summer 2010, we’ve noticed Maple rev1 boards (with the original LeafLabs silkscreen intact) for sale on the internet from unknown sources (mostly via auction sites). While our hardware designs are freely available under an open license, we don’t approve of reusing the LeafLabs brand/logo without permission, and it’s not OK to imply that a device was produced or approved by LeafLabs if it was not. Another issue is the additional support load generated, especially if there are unknown hardware issues. It’s flattering that somebody took the time to rebuild our product (assuming it works at all?), and if they had contacted us ahead of time we probably could have negotiated something mutually agreeable.

We do encourage derivative projects adapting our hardware designs and software toolchain, even for commercial purposes, as long as the terms of our licenses are respected. For hardware this means attributing us as the original designer and re-releasing any modifications under a compatible open license. Along the lines of our relationship with the Arduino community/brand, it’s also OK to mention that a device is “Maple compatible” or “based on the LeafLabs Oak” if those statements are true. If you have any questions please contact us!

And of course it’s OK to resell a used LeafLabs board over the internet as long as you are honest about whether it’s conditioning. If you’re not putting it to work get it in the hands of somebody who will!
