R13 Software and mechanical/electrical designs created before Kickoff are only permitted if the source files (complete information sufficient to produce the design) are available publicly prior to Kickoff.

The really interesting thing about this, is what is the definition of "complete information sufficient to produce the design" I could see an argument that if someone just posts a .step file of their CAD designs that is not enough, as it doesn't have the mfg tolerances required to produce it. Yes, it will get you 95% of the way there, but still not necessarily enough to produce the designs.
I doubt this will ever actually become an issue, but the way that it is worded could open the doors to some debates.
