Open Source at 90 MPH

| But Linux and Firefox are made of bits. They are immaterial.

| fixes can be released virtually for free.

| So here's a question: Can open-source practices and approaches be
| applied to make hardware, to create tangible and physical objects,
| including complex ones? Say, to build a car?
