| Abstract: | The author discusess about the rationality of open source projects - "networks of developers, distributors and end-users of non-proprietary created knowledge goods" - and its potential over proprietary approach for example in developing products. The author demonstrates that adequate convex and modular projects, proprietary licenses are unable to keep sequential knowledge production which, however, can be carried out if the project is conducted by using open source basis. |
