But intellectual property isn’t a thing then.
- akomtu 5y agoUsing one metaphor, IP is not a thing, it's a fire: by its nature, when it creates more fire, the original fire does not diminish.
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoI'm fine with that outcome.
- onethought 5y agoMe too, but completely unwinds the software economic model. Licenses are meaningless, as would more broadly copyright.
- Dylan16807 5y agoA lot less than 'completely'. A big chunk of software is commissioned, and another big chunk of software is open source.
- onethought 5y ago… a tiny chunk (by value). Commissioned software Is a fraction of product/services protected by IP law. Open source doesn’t really have an effective business model (and it doesn’t need one!)
- Dylan16807 5y agoSo much software is in-house, and that's only part of commissioned software, are you sure it's a tiny chunk?
- onethought 5y agoIn house Software still rely on ip law. Try stealing Facebook’s source code and see what happens.
