[Asterisk-Users] Re: Digium X100P for $43

[Chris Albertson]

You _can_ copyright the artwork on a card.  (The artwork defines
path of the printed conductive traces.)  If you own the
copyright, well, you own it.  But does Digium own the copyright?

In the case of the X100P they don't.  The X100P is re-branded
comodity hardware. Of cource they all have the same FCCID number.

If they are "zapata" designs then the design is in the public
domain and _anyone_ may do as they please with it.   

See the quote 
  " ...and are perpetually placed in the public domain..."
