I emailed Peter yesterday about what we can do with "extras" from our personal fabrication runs. I just got a response:
You are free to do whatever you like with the extras, even selling them for a profit. The only thing you can't do is set up a shop where you have VFE PCBs for sale perpetually.
You can also sell as many pre-programmed MCUs for a profit as you want - the .hex code is my gift to the internet to do whatever they want with it. I don't have time to sell & ship these chips, and they are the biggest barrier to a DIYer making a VFE Pedal for themself. Anyone who wants to sell these pre-programmed chips is welcome to do so.
So, it sounds like we can all do small operation stuff to our hearts desire. No need to keep it on the down low. We just can't be @bean or @Robert. The SMD PIC12F509 chips needed are pretty out of stock until October though, so that kinda puts a damper on things.
