Steve on V5 versus v6

Anybody can take a seam ripper to the old pouch and reverse engineer it. 
Hmm. That's a problem, perhaps I should have people sign EULAs to prevent
pouch poaching.

hehe.

No, no, you should include a sewing pattern for the official pouch in the 
box. It would be neat to have an official Openmoko pouch for your phone, 
but it would be even better if that pouch was handmade by each owner for 
their own phone. Especially if the instructions have configuration 
options.
