Michael, please note that the product is software published.
So much so that if you don't modify it, there's no joy in using it.
And which manufacturer publishes the CAD files? Then there would be a cheaper manufacturer who would skim the profits from the product, no matter how much energy was invested in it. So the manufacturer must protect the product from pirate manufacturers, but provide enough information so that you can find the part on the panel.
In recent years, the world's attitude to what to publish and what not to publish has changed a lot.
There are many clone manufacturers who haven't put any development into it, but they take the profits.
?
Would you produce anything by publishing the data necessary for production?
By the way, for someone who can read between the lines and has made a similar product, copying would not be a problem, but there is also honor.
Which is a great treasure if everyone follows the written and unwritten rules.
That's why I say it's a rubber bone that can be chewed on, but it won't get us ahead.
