it just seem more or less political. at some point a few years ago yet another name(maker) came in to further segregate hacker, cracker, maker, hobbyist, tinkerer , soldier spy etc.<br><div><br></div><div>we build from raw, recycle and add functionality, thats more to do with the individual, not the label applied to them by someone else.</div>

I see it very basically:<br>
In a makerspace, you make new stuff from raw materials (design PCB,
write softs, build machines...)<br>
In a hackerspace, you hack different functionality into existing
stuff (radio-toaster, CDrom robot ...)<br>
<br>
But also, in a hackerspace you can as well make new stuff from raw
and in a makerspace you can recycle old materials.<br>
So the origin is different, the result is quite the same:
creativity.<br>

<div><span>I remember discussions some year or more ago which
were trying to "clear up" the difference between
hackerspaces and makerspaces - when the "shift" started to
happen (if not before). If I remember correctly most of the
opinions were that the differences are in the amount of
hardware hacking in makerspaces and more software hacking in
hackerspaces. For me it sounds bit strange because many of
either off do both and also the ratio changes with time and
peopl involved. I do not remember references to makerspaces
as being for profit. Is it now the case by definition? I
still take makerspace = hackerspace.</span></div>
