I'd bet that some companies in Shenzhen would clone the components quickly. If there's money in it. Clone Framework boards and parts.

Those companies probably already have access to the same reference designs that Framework (or more likely their ODM/OEM) has.

Is that a bad thing?

Of course it is a bad thing. Framework is not a nonprofit. They spent blood and tears developing the designs, and needs to at least recoup the cost spent, if not make a profit.

It would be a great thing for consumers. That's how we got the PC industry in the first place.

It'd be bad for Framework though.
