oh god, the knowledge might be free with only attribution and no revenue! the horror!
- anjc 11y agoEh how do you incentivise the creation of this knowledge given that it costs money to do?
- duaneb 11y agoThe kids who know what's up will know where to do the research. That should be incentive enough. Considering you can't stop another organization from building on your research, the "competition" is a little hard to explain. A university should be run like a school, not a business.
- anjc 11y agoYou should look up the financial statements for one of your local colleges and see if it can't be run like a business. Just one of them costs a lot of money to keep going.. That's why they have to protect IP and commercialise it. Because if they don't, the colleges can't keep teaching as it all costs so much.
