Why LayerVault and DesignModo battle over profit while others build open-source
- t3mp3st 13y agoGreat point. Seems like designers are missing out on the whole "rising tide lifts all boats" thing.
- etchalon 13y agoThis is absolutely ridiculous, and misses not only the point of open source, but the entire point of the creative economy.
- triplec1988 13y agoI don't think that's entirely accurate. The point of the creative economy isn't to largely regurgitate the ideas of others and then slap a price tag on it. The idea of a creative economy, at least in my eyes, is to reward those who are exceptionally talents and create something new and of value. Taking an amazing open source project, putting some new makeup so to speak on it, and calling it a product hardly seems to fit with the spirit of what I call the creative economy.
