The absurdity of ‘owning’ an idea drives awards
The absurdity of someone ‘owning’ an idea drives NZ Open Source Awards
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - Oct. 8 2010 ) Information wants to be free, and the relative absurdity of someone ‘owning’ an idea is part of a philosophical shift in thinking of how intellectual property is generated and used according to Wellingtonian Dave Moskovitz.
The NZ Open Source Use in Business judge, for the NZ Open Source Awards 2010, says an increasing worldwide trend to the free way of thinking is unlocking tremendous value in general economic activity.
There were 33 entrants for the business section alone in the awards, with winners to be announced on Nov. 9. Moskovitz says that the organisers will look to split up the business section next year, reflecting that till recently business open source hasn’t been that important.
