A ham radio club in Tucson, Arizona, is inviting public comment on a draft license governing open hardware designs. The Tucson Amateur Packet Radio club's Open Hardware License version 0.9 is available online for comment and discussion through March 7. TAPR says its OHL was designed to help hardware designers engage in collaborative development, "just as open source programmers do today."

are you an IP lawyer?
I would strongly recommend that anyone who is interested in this comment consult their own IP lawyer, even before commenting on the current draft.
Also, tell me, what harm is there in making comments about a draft license put out by a hobby-ist club? The FSF, for example, invites public input... Why should that not be the case here?

No. I'm reporting what an IP lawyer told me.

There's no harm in commenting. There's no value in uninformed comments. The recommendation was to become informed before commenting.
Why do you have a problem with suggesting that comments be informed?
