[python-uk] BBC micro:bit hardware released under open license

[Roger Gammans]

There is a git hub repo with gerber of the main board, and it claims 
(I only say claim because I haven't downloaded them to check personally;
unlike the gerbers) to have Altium, Eagle and Kicad files with the
schematics etc on them.

( https://github.com/microbit-foundation/microbit-reference-design )

What I can't see is the any firmware source code, but I may not be
looking in the right places.
