Steve, if the Chinese wanted to copy it, they would do it gerbers or no.? If I were the designer, I would be more concerned about having to support the builders if I produced new boards.? One way around this is to put the board on OshPark as a shared pcb.? That way, the gerbers are not downloadable, but are useable by someone who wants to build the project.? This will be more expensive per board than getting a 100 boards built in China, but much more protective.? Dale

You can look back through the message subject for the details. The designer of the 2N2-XX chose not to release the Gerber file for the PCB. Frankly, I wholeheartedly stand behind his decision.
