Thanks for such an amazing board.

I just noticed you have the board under CC-BY-NC-SA, which (while also my license of choice), means it can't be considered Open Source Hardware by OSHW Association standards, as the "Non-Commercial" clause isn't allowed in OSHW-logo products, though this looks like it's also an upstream issue with @mathisschmieder /MMDVM_HS_Hat. I'll post a similar issue to that project for his information.

(I'm only mentioning it because I was considering designing-in part of your board into my project and wanted to know which i needed to apply. I'm more than fine with CC BY-NC-SA. I don't represent the OSHWA in any way, just making an observation as a fellow hardware designer.)

To keep it under CC-BY-NC-SA, you may want to remove the gear logo to be compliant with their rules.
