描述

The FAQ indicates the design files are licensed under a CC-BY-SA license. However, when I go to a product page I can download the schematic files but there is no indication of license or license terms there, nor have I been able to find anywhere saying which specific license the files are under and I am left not knowing which license I would need to adhere to.

研究方向
The issue requests clearer documentation of open hardware licenses on Arduino product pages. The FAQ currently mentions CC BY SA, but product pages lack specific license terms. A newcomer should look at the FAQ (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/FAQ#toc3) and a product page like the Arduino Due (https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino due) to understand the gap. The solution involves updating the FAQ and/or product pages to explicitly state the license for design files. No code changes are needed, only documentation edits. Since this is a documentation issue, it is ideal for first time contributors.
