I wasn't aware of this huge project [1].
This one seems to be only a smal part of it [2]. This really looks awesome and game changing! I'm very excited to see if I can contribute.
I was fortunate enough to meet Marcin a number of years ago at a conference in Vienna. He was even then working on developing his Open Source Ecology ideas & hardware.
Yep, it's part of the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) [1]. You can read the crash course [2] to get a better idea of our project, then see how you can get involved [3], or read a list of specific project needs [4].
All plans of our current and future machines can be used by anyone without restrictions.
