Is Proton C Schematic/PCB opensourced? about qmk_hardware HOT 4 OPEN

Can you please add details as in what you mean by a PCB being open source?
As per my knowledge, the software needed are maintained in GitHub as a public repo. This allows people to make request for features needed and personally add to through pull request.

Happy 2 Help

Available schematics and pcb files and licenced under "CERN Open Hardware Licence" or some other open licence.

The question is about the hardware.

https://github.com/qmk/qmk_hardware contains footprints and symbols for the proton-c board (but no design files for the proton-c itself) - this should also be listed on the proton-c page :).

I don't think Proton-C PCB is open source. There're other Arduino Pro Micro alternatives that are open source.

I'm wondering this as well. Actually I would expect this from an Open Source project like QMK, but I was unable to open any of the files in this repo with KiCAD. I'm though also just starting with KiCAD.

Ok? Which? The Elite-C seems even less open sourced as I haven't found any source code related it (compared to what is in here).
