New open source consortia

Created by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on December 20, 2005

Seven American universities, four information technology companies and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation have formed a consortia to "accelerate innovation and contribute to open source software research"

Open source software and open standards jointly developed by universities, government and industry can create a powerful platform for collaborative innovation. These principles are based on a balanced approach to IP management and should stimulate additional joint industry and university research projects.
