The really hard work was done by the designers of the integrated circuit(s). Further credit goes to the process engineering and device integration teams within the company that makes the integrated circuits, that ensure the fabrication process generates transistor characteristics that make the integrated ciruit design a success.Unless the 47labs product uses a custom chip that was reverse-engineered and built in a foundry for the knock-off, similar layouts simply indicate basic common sense on the part of the circuit board designers in both companies.
Copying the external appearance of a successful product for the sake of stealing business is immoral if not illegal. However, making a cheaper board implementation of a chip set available to anyone willing to purchase it should only raise questions about the details of the execution.
