Scarecrow Man Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 IBM says it is providing free access to the information in 500 company patents to individuals and groups working on open source software.The company said it believes this is the largest pledge of patents of any kind and represents a major shift in how it manages and deploys its intellectual property.Open source software is a spectrum of programs, the best known of them the Linux operating system, that are not under the lock and key of a single company but are developed by the communal efforts of volunteers who often start with little more than a common interest.Now theres something I thought I'd never see.... :huh: Full Story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
