Description

"The project founded the company to produce and sell the hardware based on the Free Design. From their about-us page:

Traversal Technology LLC was founded to manage the production and sale of hardware based on various open designs, and to provide professional validation and commercial support for these products.

Open designs and open interfaces allow Traversal Technology to interact with the Open Source community for mutual benefit. By leveraging the potential of the Open Source community, Traversal Technology is able to offer quality products at competitive prices. Conversely, users are able to use their hardware to its full potential on any platform, unhindered by lack of documentation, lack of support, or trade secrets.

One of the restrictions of the project:

• While the hardware will be open spec, not all of it will be open

source at first. This gives Traversal Technology the advantage it needs to recoup its non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs." (http://wiki.opengraphics.org/tiki-index.php?page=AboutOpenGraphics)
