Neither hardware IMHO.
Unless, you could somehow prevent competitors from stealing I+D. Which you can't. So closed source it is (that makes things harder for competitors).
- adrianN 7y agoYou prevent competitors from stealing by requiring them to open source their stuff too.
- alexandernst 7y agoYes, that will be a complete success with anything coming from/going to China. Because we all know that they respect IP.
- adrianN 7y agoIf they want to sell their cars Germany they'd have to open source their code. I see no problem.
- heftig 7y agoHow about requiring all implementations of a patent to be open source? This really should have been a requirement for software patents from the start, given how difficult software is to reverse-engineer.
- alexandernst 7y agoHow about requiring people on HN to stop living in a multicolor bubble? Requiring a company to release it's own software implementation of it's own patent is just childish, simplifying things like a 5 years old.
