Extend the open-source movement

Mission:

Knowledge, ideas and science in the public domain

Founder:

Hans D. , Brussels, Belgium

Description:

The open-source movement for software has created impressive applications, such as some of the world's leading content management systems. It has spinoffs on the internet and blogosphere , where creative commons offers various licences to authors enabling them to release their work while protecting their author rights. And in the academic world, there is a long tradition of scientists building on each other's work.

The benefit of having knowledge in the public domain are paramount. Free access, allowing everybody to build upon knowledge takes control away from governments, media, companies and institutions. It improves democracy, empowers people and develops the world. It enriches us all.

If you feel likewise, thanks for joining this change.
