I'm really actually enjoying this thread.  It is interesting for me to see the design thoughts that go into developing a hardware idea into a real product.

I am curious about something, but I'm not sure how to explain.  This is a prototype board, meaning I think a way to test an idea.  Say for example I come up with an interesting design.  If I use parts of the schematics of your board with my final product, (which I might, correct, since the entire thing is a part of the new prototype?) would I need to be concerned about that? IOW, would I be stealing part your design?  

Or is the hardware world different from the software one? (-:

Olin answered:

They're not supposed to wear out, you're supposed to buy a new one for each
project ;-)
