Is then intent of this project to be "Open Source"? #3

Description

@abetusk

From your YouTube channel, you say "I want to take this opportunity to try and make this project as accessible and open source as possible".

"Open Source" has a generally agreed on definition that digital artifacts are provided under a free/libre license that allows for redistribution and alteration, even for commercial purposes. Here is a relevant quote from the entry on Wikipedia about the term "Open Source Model":

Open source promotes universal access via an open-source or free license to a product's design or blueprint, and universal redistribution of that design or blueprint.

If the intent is to provide this project under an open source model, please provide a license file, preferably in the form of a LICENSE.txt file, and a short description of what licenses are used in the README. Some common choices are CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, the CERN OHL. The Wikipedia article on Open Source Hardware licenses lists these in addition to some others.

If the intent to make the source available, without providing the project as open source, please use the term "source available" instead of "open source" as using the term "open source" will cause confusion.
