I haven't decided what I think yet but these two statements stand out to me. From Louis...
Also, imagine that someone mutate and patent my work, cutting off my own paths for future development?
From Dan...
practical or damn fool idealistic? not sure but public domain feels better.
Since none of us are patent lawyers (yet :-P), feeling it out is perhaps the best we can do it seems. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in other communities. For now, as for dropping CC-BY-SA for CERN Open Hardware License 1.1 across the board, perhaps we don't have to do that and can instead state "CERN Open Hardware License 1.1" or "Public Domain" on the Wiki pages where we want it to apply. I could be wrong though and it's worth finding someone with enough knowledge on this topic to try and poke some holes in that idea.

Hi David, I've thought about doing that even for the Tool Wikis themselves. I think what we might be going for is having the tool's profile, the tool's wiki, and the forum all "below the fold". Below the fold is a term used to describe everything you see before you have to scroll down. So everything "above the fold" is the dream, but your suggestion is a good place to start until we have time to do a serious redesign of the tool pages. -RJ

Hi Eric, Thanks for reaching out! We're definitely interested in some remote collaboration. I know that Louis is busy designing and building the first prototype so when he settles on the parts list and gets the code up on GitHub then we'll be working on the documentation for assembling Fido. That would be a great place for you to jump in and we can iterate from there. You can stay in the loop by subscribing to the forum and wiki for this tool. I'm looking forward to working with you! RJ
