OpenBCI
- To repair the OpenBCI WIFI shield was anounced since more than two years, but did not happen by OpenBCI.
- But Conor Russomanno wants to sell us an OpenBCI Galea for more than 20 000 USD. Conor is the CEO of OpenBCI. If he wanted to, the WIFI shield would be repaired very soon, but he does not want to repair it. Why then should we not sell it from someone who offers it to us on Aliexpress?
- Then, William Croft wants us to stick to the unspoken rules of open source hardware:
What else does OpenBCI want from us? To make as much money as possible out of OpenBCI, and then close OpenBCI, if it does not sell anymore?
In Article 1 of the human rights it says:
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”

But does OpenBCI not stick to Article 1 of the human rights, also to the unspocken rules? Aren t there any unspocken human rights also? That all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, also when it does not concern legal rules, but unspoken rules how we should live together and deal with each other?
Are there special rules which apply only to OpenBCI and not to the OpenBCI costumers? For instance, spare costs for the Wifi shield, sell expensive OpenBCI Galeas for 20 000 USD, and then wanting from us to have a high ethical standard? But has OpenBCI themselves a high ethical standard?
