I disagree.   He can redesign for a more generic device, or someone else 
could do the same.  I do not think the agreement restricts anyone from 
desiging a generic output device, that could work with WB-O2, even if they 
did injest the info about diy-wb.   The agreement you protect is a cancer, 
and the agreemnet, not people like peter, will kill it all.  The agreement is 
so "borgish" that all newcomers that can actually contribute will not. Your 
agreement will have the exact opposite effect that you intended.   What will 
remain will be the original givers, and the rest takers.  No new givers will 
come to the table, because the agreement is just insane.
