Shrug. This isn't an open source ESP8266 - it's an ESP8266 soldered onto an open source PCB. It doesn't have any wireless certifications so it's really only good for DIY unless you're planning to invest in getting the certifications, at which point you might as well work with the ESP8266 directly.

Agreed. Better wait for BL602/BL604. Despite not being open hardware, at least they will have open ISA.

It's just a small title error from the person who submitted the link. Replacing "as" by "in" makes a more accurate.

"ESP8266 in Open Source Hardware"

It's an evaluation board, it's not meant to be used in production.

Agreed. Flagged on that basis.
