What if we made a GPL for Ideas? Write up your idea, and licence it under a GPL like licence. Since I cannot just get a thing done or manufactured, perhaps I can get my idea accomplished by simply sharing it...?
I thought of this, again, while reading: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/28/technology/circuits/28wind.html ... and: http://www.vestas.dk/ I was thinking about how things like that could be done under a GPL or open hardware like system, with an industry co-op for research and design sharing, college tuition scholarships, internships, etc... they could licence the blueprints in some way that would ensure that nobody "takes over" and overcompetes for a sales area or something... but there could be more factories and distributed world wide to simplify logistics for new ones and _compatible_ replacement parts. These wind-dragons --- will they slow the wind down, and thus prevent air pollution from being flushed from our cities? Never mind. -- Karl M.
