No, the business model I was talking about is small scale, zero or few employees, contractors mostly, niche market, for engineers that do accounting and bookkeeping also. Success stories are Eggbot -- shop.evilmadscientist.com, model rocketry by Bdale Garbee and Keith Packard. http://altusmetrum.org to name two. These are on a comfortable scale for individuals. Nothing wealthy investors would consider. Do YOU want a big scale company? IPO style? Is your definition of large equal to my comfortable-small definition? I can't tell from what you say. You've not convinced me open hardware is impossible though.
