They will use CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Which means it's not open source, and no-one else can sell replacement cartridges, parts etc.

It might still be a good printer and enjoyed by some, but it really annoys me when companies mix these terms up, almost certainly deliberately.

    CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

    Isn't it about documentation or design rather than code or hardware? Typically CC isn't used for software or hardware.
