@bipolaron I have a 3D printer, and I might be able to help out. I've only printed a few hundreds of hours, and I've gotten some 4 to 5 board prototypes to hold together. My knowledge is probably specific to my printer to some extent:
BCN3D has good open source 3D printers in my experience. This is my printer, which was $3000 a couple years ago. I'm away from my house for at least the next month, but I'd be happy to work with you to get a small number of 3D models printed.

Thanks @pixelcode!
Your link is an answer to my question. The only other open source license that requires disclosure of modified source code is the Mozilla License. It's still not as strong as the AGPL, which defines distribution as network use.

Section 5, "Conveying Modified Source Versions", of the Affero GPLv3 sounds very related to this protection.
It sounds to me that anyone is free to distribute modified versions of the software, but to do so, they must also release the source code for the modified version they release, also under the same license.

Thanks for the very helpful link! The section on "Assigning Ownership" is also helpful for me to understand a strategy for the project to maintain copyright on all author's contributions. Super helpful. I've ordered myself a copy.

Are there software licenses out there that guarantee to the user the ability to receive updates and improvements to a piece of open source software?
I don't know of any license other than the GPL that provides this guarantee to the user.
I know that I'm more motivated to learn a new tool when it is protected by the GPL because of this guarantee that future versions will also be open source.
When I license my own software, I choose the Affero GPLv3 because it provides this extra guarantee to the users, even if the software serving the user is on a webserver.

@doctormo @lightweight @webmink I use the phrases "Freedom Software" or "Free / Libre Open Source Software" or FLOSS. Also when referring to "Free / Libre Open Source Hardware" I use the term FLOSH.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a free & open source e-commerce solution for wordpress? (I'd also be open to other libre web platforms besides wordpress.)
I see WooCommerce is a popular option that takes 2.9% and $0.30 per purchase, but not sure how this does or does not support the free/libre open source software/hardware maker community more or less than other options.

@GossiTheDog Recommend looking at @nitrokey for a hardware token, cuz not just #FLOSS but also #FLOSH!
@chriscoreline I wonder whether it's too late to develop an Internet Of #Nonproprietary Things. Certainly there is a lot of catching up to do. #IONT #IOT #FOSS #FLOSS #FOSH #FLOSH
