Thanks for your input Alan. The problem is that I do not know law. I just
thought if that was that simple then GPL (and other licenses) would not be
that long if you know what I mean.

All I wanted to do is to make it clear that whenever I do an open design it
was only for learn or for hobbyists and definitely not for those who just
grab some design from web and manufacturing and selling it for money. Also
if they change a resistor or something trivial the copyright to still
apply... And that if they put the design on their site to indicate the
original location of it and that they cannot change the copyright and the
condition of use.

I just thought that something like GPL in software industry already exists
for electronics so i do not need to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks,
Tamas
