+John Ackermann, N8UR, has authored two new licenses intended to foster 
+collaborative hardware development projects.  I've known John for many years
+through our mutual involvement in 
+<a href="http://www.tapr.org">TAPR</a>.  He invited me to review several 
+early drafts, and did a great job of 
+integrating the feedback that I and his other early reviewers provided.
+
+The latest drafts of these licenses are open to public review and comment
+until March 7th, 2007.  I invite readers interested in hardware development 
+and/or the nuances of license texts to review the 
+<a href="http://www.tapr.org/OHL">TAPR Open Hardware License</a> 
+and associated non-commercial variant, and provide feedback through the
+mechanisms provided.
