Is Open Source Design a Thing? - Freedom Penguin - 0 views

  •

Open-Source Software: Who Needs Intellectual Property? | Foundation for Economic Education - 0 views

  •  
    [The market for open-source software-uncopyrighted, freely reproducible computer programs-is not well understood by economists.
