CERN Brochure: Open Hardware at CERN (pdf, 1MB)

CERN is actively making its knowledge and technology available
for the benefit of society and does so through a variety of different
mechanisms. Open hardware has in recent years established itself as
a very effective way for CERN to make electronics designs and in particular
printed circuit board layouts, accessible to anyone, while also
facilitating collaboration and design re-use. It is creating an impact on
many levels, from companies producing and selling products based on
hardware designed at CERN, to new projects being released under the
CERN Open Hardware Licence.
