"Arduino wasn’t valuable because it was just a microcontroller company. It was valuable because it was a commons. And you can’t apply enterprise legal frameworks to a commons without destroying it"
You also can't buy a #commons, at least without destroying it as a commons. The key point about a commons is that it isn't property.

Did Qualcomm kill Arduino for good? | Molecularist
The maker community worried Qualcomm would kill the Arduino ethos. New T&Cs confirm the community's worst fears. Here's what's at stake, what Qualcomm got wrong, and what might still be salvaged.

¡No puedo creer que un libro como este haya llegado a ser publicado! La bajeza intelectual y tergiversación de la historia es de un nivel aberrante.

A dual bistatic optical forward transceiver configuration for determining the position of an acoustic communication source detected by optical communication fibers
Optical fibers have long been employed as sensors in a wide range of commercial systems. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) extends this concept by enabling the detection and localization of acoustic sources along the fiber, using backscattered light from small segments to achieve spatial resolution on the order of meters. Recently, DAS has also been explored as a component in underwater acoustic communication systems. Emerging interest in bidirectional configurations where both transmitter and…
