Yeah, Noisebridge can legally sell kits, as it fits in with our educational mission, to teach and share knowledge about science, technology, and art. It would be a fine way to raise funds for Noisebridge.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Of course, anyone can feel free to create kits at Noisebridge and sell them on their own. And if they want to donate proceeds to Noisebridge, that would be way cool!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
And if anyone wants to develop a kit (or anything else) and make it an official Noisebridge project and/or product, then getting consensus from the group would also be cool.<BR>
