Build Your Own Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Posted by michael on from the puts-other-build-your-own-stories-to-shame dept.

I don't want to spen writes "For all you fans of nanotech out there, a friend just posted me a link to instructions for building a scanning tunnelling microscope, from the University of Muenster. Interestingly, their licensing terms sound open source-ish to me: '(... We grant everybody the right to construct the microscope using the here-published design for private or educational purposes. On these web pages all necessary diagrams, drawings, material descriptions and software-source-codes are published for free access. While granting the right to build the microscope we make it mandatory that new developments, improvements or other applications of our design are also made openly available for private or educational purposes...)'"

    Can't you think of something intelligent before posting your crap?

    Way to go, prohibit people from making a buck off your design just to make yourself feel better

    kinda sounds like GPL, eh?
