Among these developments, three prominent instances — open source software, open access to research and scholarship, and open science — share not only a commitment to the unrestricted exchange of information and ideas, but economic principles based on (1) the efficacy of free software and research; (2) the reputation–building afforded by public access and patronage; and, (3) the emergence of a free–or–subscribe access model. Still, with this much in common, the strong sense of convergence among these open initiatives has yet to be fully realized, to the detriment of the larger, common issue. By drawing on David's (2004; 2003; 2000; 1998) economic work on open science and Weber's (2004) analysis of open source, this paper seeks to make that convergence all the more apparent, as well as worth pursuing, by those interested in furthering this alternative approach, which would treat intellectual properties as public goods. http://connect.educause.edu/display/36542#comments First Monday Intellectual Property Open Access Open Source OSS Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Wed, 31 Aug 2005 16:04:22 -0500 drupal 36542 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/36086 IBM recently "promised not to sue any open-source developer, distributor or user, and stated clearly that IBM is legally bound by that promise.
