I had a brief conversation by email with Cory Doctorow , a science fiction author who is also a copyleft activist, who releases everything he writes with a CC license. He suggested, basically, find the publisher first, then talk about the license second. I did a webinar for NTEN on it – ReadyTalk worked just fine.

Can we build a library of OpenSocial applications that have open source licenses? And fine grained access control to what data goes through to which other individuals. Data silos are bad, as mentioned in the quote on Beth’s blog. And in this case, the value is in the data, not in the source of the application(s) using it.

Embarking on a new tech project is like building a house. If for a house construction project you want to think about how many bedrooms and bathrooms you want and how large, for a tech project you want to outline the requirements for the new system and what jobs it needs to accomplish. First, there is a design and planning phase.

It would not be as cost-effective (and thus, not produce as much profit) if these SaaS developers had to pay license fees for the software they use (besides the fact that these are the most stable and robust platforms to build upon.)

But I’m sure that their services pricing has been adjusted to account for loss of licensing revenue. Without the s/w to install it (and strongly suspecting that doing so just to “check it out&# is a waste of time), I have to believe that their goal here is to get clients to buy services. Which is fine. 2 Tompkins Spann 03.21.08

In fact, pretty much every open source project that has gone commercial, or had a change in license, caused a fork, pretty much killing the original (like Mambo, or XFree86.) They have had an active user community, many of which, I imagine, are going elsewhere.
