i don't mean open source as in new technologies by the way.

what elon did for tesla was an opportunity sabotaged by personal humanitarian motives. (if i understood correctly)

i mean open source to patents long expired and in public domain, to be dissected of manufacturing processes and its making,

but organized and packaged in such a way that universal elements of making, can be adopted into other projects.

for instance, x, y, z axis movement at what speed of motor can be packaged easily in few lines of code and user may just need to change variables for their own projects.

so yesterday's technology can be rebranded and practically made to set an standard for the industries. i read somewhere, 60-70's fridges were far more durable than todays.

so are many mechanical oriented items. would a hand grinding coffee maker, ever break down as compared to a motorized one? basis of what is lasting as philosophy, but of course still automated machinary for convenience, just. more durable and honest in making. (to set a standard for the industry, and to encourage buyers to create, and to earn people's trust towards the government)
