Isn't it about documentation or design rather than code or hardware? Typically CC isn't used for software or hardware.

Thanks I addressed that seconds ago https://lemmy.world/post/36926543/19781367 and my bet is that it's an omission, so I asked on CS Discord just in case but yes people should be mindful of that before the crowd funding campaign start. Hopefully it'll be fixed.
