Hardware developer realwillreil accuses another maker of cloning his PCB design exactly and selling it, warning it's 'the fastest way to incinerate any goodwill.' The accused, justinplaygame, replies with 'Challenge accepted' and launches a new 'Red Eyes Toon Dragon' ESP32-C6 dev board (50 units, photos show a Blue-Eyes-style Toon Dragon PCB). An open-source hardware design-copying drama.
