I think that the proper place to resolve this issue is in the actual *licenses,* which as with OSS may vary from permissive to restrictive. I'd like to see the evolution of at least one OSHW license where a requirement is that the design files for the project-- and its derivative works --need to be in open, documented formats.
Keep dreaming, bro.
Maybe when gEDA reaches 1/10th the functionality/usability of say Protel.
