[My post was flagged as "off-topic. I think it is on topic, because if some part of the FP2 would need a redesign (due to a problematic design, bad part), this could become a problem. This is why I was asking. But feel free to flag again or just send me a private message. I cannot see the reason or who flagged this.]
It would also be interesting to see some clarification about Tina Trinks’ talk “How sustainable is the Fairphone?”. @paulakreuzer reported about the Q&A part of the talk that it’s nearly impossible (money-wise) to fix simple design glitches. Is this true? This would be shocking for further revisions. Also I still do not understand who “owns” the FP2 design.
“The design/patents… cost a lot. I don’t remember the exact sum but in was on the scale of millions. Tina said even slight design changes and new modules would again cost a lot and they don’t have that kind of money just laying around. Atm there are plans for a new camera module but no other changes.”
