According to the recent rulings you can't copyright APIs, and if that's the case, why have their not been more open source API alternatives to these ventures? I understand money would be an issue so I imagine a non-profit or open source foundation funding servers to house such a venture would also be necessary unless you were to do it yourself.
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoThe APIs aren't hard, the technology behind the APIs are.
- AUmrysh 14y agoThat's the real problem. You can find stuff like libfacerec out there, which OpenCV just added to their latest release (2.4.2) a week or so ago. Maybe we will see more face-recognizing software come from this. http://docs.opencv.org/modules/contrib/doc/facerec/index.html http://docs.opencv.org/modules/contrib/doc/facerec/index.htm...
- methodin 14y agoSure. It's hard but if you are telling me there isn't enough talent in this world to sustain it given a model to work from then I would really have a hard time believing you.
