Sad, but at least The Big Ada could fight back by not selling the Pros until they become FOSH.

How's it sad? How does it affect you? They made it clear they want to protect customers from low quality clones

In my experience, "low quality clones" means "clones that work perfectly well but don't bring in any of the money we spent on R&D", which is fair.

Usually they work just fine, and at home, I buy knockoffs for my hobbyist projects.

At work? Only name-brand stuff. A consistent product and process is more important than saving a couple bucks.

It's ironic because Arduino is all about FOSH, except for the one thing that might actually get used in the "real world."
