As a Newbe from the UK I'm currently going up a very fast learning curve
I've started to get involved in CooP's both here but things get very expensive with postage and in some cases 110 to 240 Volt conversion
For us across the "pond" (UK & Europe) a real alternative would be to either buy pcb's in bulk for onward selling, or better still, get access to the board files inc. Gerber's where available, to get them produced over here. Possibly this would include setting up BOM's on Uk Mouser or Farnell (Element 14).
My specific question - Are any of the standard boards detailed on this site/Wiki, in practice, open source? If not who owns the licence and how wold we go about appropriate recompense.
Let me be clear, I have no intention of this being a commercial initiative, I only want to try to ease some of the frustration that I (and a guess many others outside the USA) experience.
Any suggestions and advice would be greatly received

You would have to contact RJ as they are his design.

They are not open source but I believe that the Renard boards at DIYC are so you may have some luck there.
