Not for me. Limboy declared interest after CrazyBob and OXCOM so they are ahead of limboy in the line until they withdraw. Just asking so those in front of him don't get upset if they get passed over.

This is a bit impertinent. This is my design and driver. The copyright for all my products is "Free for non comercial use". I dont know your PCB-costs, but these pcbs cost me 2€ each (+ shipping and customs from China makes it 3€) and the parts-costs are ridiculous. You could have at least asked me before!
Even worse, you integrate illegal copys of kickstart in your offer.
Again: I don't mind other people copy my layouts. Thats why I put all my desings on the web at http://www.a1k.org/forum , like all my other projects and on github. Making money from these (you earn 25-40€ on each board, depending on your PCB-costs) I do not like, but sometimes I have to tollerate it. But not even MENTIONING, that Im the designer of the layout and the driver is impertinent!
@All others: I just make a collective order for this PCB (no parts, just the PCB!). The costs are 3€/each + shipping. Interested? ->PM

I just made a PayPal payment of €45 + €12 shipping to Belgium after receiving a pm from Kataklysm.
I just read Matthias post. What's going to happen now?
I fully understand his point of view.
Please mods advice us on this matter!

Update
MathiasH and Kataklysm are in talks to come to an agreement on how to proceed in a way that does not make profit or break copyright with the kickstart.
MathiasH (So good of him) is going to write an English manual and update is Drivers,
I'm going to work now but will try to update when I can.
@Kataklysm
refunds have started to arrive thank you.
thanks,

Update....
MathiasH and Kataklysm have come to an agreement on how to proceed with selling ready built units with generous support from MathiasH,
all that Kataklysm now has to resolve is the issue of Kickstart Licensing.
I wonder if he could go the Vampire600 route and have buyers upload their kickstarts in the same manner Majsta did ??
I have re-opened this thread....... Please DO NOT DECLARE INTEREST until the kickstart licensing issue is resolved,
any ideas please post here.

MathiasH has suggested selling the controller without a kickstart switcher and leave it up to the user to get a compatible kickstart to autoboot the controller.
@Kataklysm
can you edit your 1st post and sell only the controller with the amended price ??
thanks.

Could they also do it the new way the Vampire team is using? They bought licenses for Kickstart (I'm assuming from Cloanto) and it only increased the price $2 for orders after the preorder period. That's a whole lot less cumbersome than everything that had to do to deal with the images.
Maybe kipper2k or Majsta could help? The contact would probably have to be done by someone they are friends with or on IRC while they're so swamped building boards.
