They had a submission 8 years ago[1] but I came across the YouTube announcement[2] of their new 4.1 Kickstarter campaign[3]. It only seeks $16,000 of which they've currently raised $249,000 based in no small part that they've already shipped several successful releases, I'd guess

Their project is open source[4], GPLv3 for the on-device software and CC-BY-SA 4 for the cad files

There's a YouTube explainer somewhere. But the basic gist is that after developing the first Maslow device as open hardware, MakerMade sold their own version (with agreement from the original designer, who I don't think wanted to spend all his time manufacturing them). Then MakerMade decided they owned the "Maslow" name and it all got messy.

Sounds very "mullenweg"ish.

This should become a verb. Mullenweged
