Three Areas of Open Source Economics
,----[ Quote ]
| These days, I get involved in a lot of
| discussions about open source economics.
| Usually, they lead to an invitation to present
| our research and clarify âhow open source
| worksâ to the audience. Iâve found it helpful
| to distinguish these three rather different
| areas of open source economics: (1) direct
| profits, (2) public welfare, (3) labor market.

The Open Source Renaissance
,----[ Quote ]
| Take, for example, U.S. patent and copyright
| protection laws and policies. They reinforce
| proprietary, âclosed sourceâ rights and
| policies. As a result of this system, many
| substantial U.S. companies have formed around
| breakthrough ideas, but incentives are in
| place for those companies to guard and protect
| their intellectual property, even if others
| outside the company could extend or advance it
| more rapidly.

| Red Hat officials said Friday.
