You might want to take note of the lesson from RAMPS-FD, don't publish the full schematic until the worst bugs have been worked out (RAMPS-FD was picked up by the clone makers, but they cloned the early beta version of the board).
I do hope we don't have to bend to the stupidity of eBay buyers. Wider collaboration is only possible with publishing. If that's a problem we shouldn't give up on collaboration, but find other measures to distinguish the good ones from the bad ones instead. As you probably know, I value collaboration very high and consider it to be essential for the success of a community.
Perhaps by putting some text like "unfinished" to the copper tracks until it's actually done. People dumb enough to copy something unfinished are also dumb enough to not remove such texts.
