How can he infringe a licensing agreement if it's open source? The designer themselves actually said they don't mind people selling their PCBs for a profit. Whatever you think of this, he is clear of any licensing or legal issues. that is immensely dumb, but I know you're serious so let me tell you...

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

Not a keyboard, but can anyone help me identify which keyboard these keycaps came from? They seem to fit SKCC Greens and SKCC Creams perfectly (not tall Creams; though you could force it on there and it'll be snug, but secure)
