Ich hab eine Antwort auf die Frage, wie reproduzierbar die Kamera für andere Firmen zB. in China ist gefunden. Das macht die Kamera in meinen Augen noch viel interessanter!!!
Ich zitier jetzt einfach mal die Seite von Apertus, da die ja unter GNU Lizenz veröffentlicht ist und folglich zittiern, kopieren usw. erlaubt sein sollte.

Hardware
The Axiom base system is defined by the following logical and physical parts: image sensor front-end, processing board, external interface board, power management and enclosure (including lens mount base).
These parts are guaranteed to be released as open hardware (all the schematics, plans, BOM, CAD files, gerber files, etc. required to duplicate the hardware) as defined by the CERN OHL (open hardware license 1.2). apertus° ensures that all Axiom interfaces to the outside (as well as the inside) are open, well defined and publicly documented.
Software
All software source code (including FPGA, firmware, drivers, etc.) running on hardware that is developed by apertus° is guaranteed to be released under the GNU GPL V3. There are no explicit non-release agreements between apertus° and the community creating software/hardware. The copyright holder might always license his/her work as appropriate (and even dual license it) but for apertus° to accept the software into the official Axiom repository it needs to be released under an FSF compatible free software license.
Summary
This means anyone can 'reproduce' the work done by apertus° for Axiom without hitting any legal boundaries and/or requiring any reverse engineering. It does not mean however, that no manufacturing/assembly/etc. knowledge or special.
Sobald es also fertige Kameras gibt, kann man auch mit preiswerten Klonen rechnen, toll! Wobei Preiswert dahingestellt ist, da der FPGA und der Kamerasensor ja vermutlich schon zusammen auf 1000€ kommen (reine Vermutung). Wenn die China-Plastik-Clon-Kamera dann 1600€ kostet ist das für die Masse eher zu stemmen, als 10.000€ für das High-End-Metall-Modell von Apertus direkt.
