Open source hardware movement != Free open source hardware movement.
I'm not sure that many are advocating the free part mainly the open part.
The free part of FOSH means that the source is not copyright protected, so anyone, company and individuals, can use the source in order to manufacture stuff and selling without having to give a cut to the source creators. Well that is how I understand it.
