Good catch - we can add some clarification to that form.

Today JITX is for professional EEs mainly, and we don't have a lot of resources to help people learn electronics from scratch. (Still want to help the students though - this company was inspired by my grad school robotics struggles).

However a code-based approach boosts reusability enough make open-source hardware a whole lot more meaningful. So we selectively grant access to people able to use the tool effectively today who are also going to contribute to open source.

Overall, we're opening up more and more as the tech moves from special purpose to general purpose.
