Which is what most people do. Huge numbers of designers don't even know or care they are a thing.
I proposed an addition to the OSHW logo to make it clearer your terms and intentions, like a Creative Commons type letter system.
It was met by deathly silence (and I'm sure gnashed teeth) from the OSHW organisation and affiliated companies like Adafruit and Sparkfun, but otherwise was quite well receive by the community.
