Derivative

Hi

I know its contrary to Open Source, but for most Hobbyists Eagle is easier to use.

I have started to re-layout your v1.4 board as a Eagle board, in the process shriking it enough to fit underneath the printbed, mounted to the threaded rods, on a Printrbot. This should save some cost...

Can I make a derivative (new page) and link it from yours?

Sure you can make a derivative. Please just don't call it "Gen7", much less "Gen7 v1.4.1". This will confuse users, because Gen7 will continue to develop, too. What I can see from the picture, feature-parity isn't intended: usage of SMT chips, no extension board header, different endstop headers, etc. One could also name it a single sided Sanguinololu, so why link from the Gen7 page?
