Any plans to "open up" (for a price) the specification for outside companies, so they can build components labeled "framework compatible" or some such?

Absolutely. We’ve already released open source reference designs publicly for the Expansion Card system, and we’re happy to enable third parties on other modules too.

If any company is interested, it's certainly a conversation we'd like to have.
