| Can “open source” software--software usually available without charge that individual users are free to modify--thrive in a Darwinian world of capitalist markets? Should government encourage open-source initiatives through subsidies, or direct its evolution by modifying intellectual property protection laws? Our panelists offer diverse views on a phenomenon that has become a touchstone for controversy in the information technology business. |
