More than 10 years ago I happened to read "Free as in Freedom - Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software" by Sam Williams. At that time GNU/Linux to me was still a new and curious thing, something to toy with during your spare time, before booting back into Windows to play Quake 3 Arena. I didn't really understood lots of things at that time (pdp10? compilers? software printed on paper?) but I still remember how the concepts of free software and users rights resonated in me. The idea of copyleft struck me as something deeply disruptive, borderline subversive, therefore is only natural for me to choose a strong copyleft license, at the expense of others, more permissive licences (Apache, BSD, Expat licenses).
I chose the GNU GPL v3 for my software and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) for my documentation, thus granting 4 basic freedoms to any user:
Attached below you'll find the full text of the aforementioned licenses.
I don't plan to commercialize my project, not in his current form, at least. In my opinion the ones that could make use of my braille embosser (beside individual users, of course) are schools, NGOs, small public officies afflicted by ever-shrinking budgets.
With this in mind I plan to start a public repo on GitHub where I'll host all the files needed for the production process (3d models, ready-to-cut dxf, eagle/kicad/gerbers for the electronics) and all the software. Later on, with the repo up and running, completed with a good Readme.md and a basic wiki, I plan to buy a domain and build a simple stand alone showcase site for promotional purpose
