Agreed. The goal of only releasing the CAD, and requiring any teams that actually build it or modify it to also share the CAD is to promote advancement and collaboration of a design. We're not giving them a box of parts; we're giving them a vague design (that probably has errors somewhere, I haven't spent much time on this design...), and letting them decide on the implementation.
