If they actually follow through on making the Slate as privacy friendly as they claim in this article, and it doesn't have any major flaws, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is perhaps one of the best options for someone in need of a mini-truck/SUV hybrid.

Automobiles is one of those area I feel like Chipotle copy left does not work in practice. It's a two ton death machine, so we really want contributions by Claude?

Copyleft licenses wave warranties.

And there's loads of open source projects that don't allow AI contributions. Just because someone writes a shitty PR doesn't mean it will be merged.

See, PR? Merge? That's software bullshit. This is a conversation about hardware.

Hardware designs in OpenSCAD or FreeCAD live in git repos. And, yes, the community makes changed via PRs
