Open-Source and Sustainable Development
The Open-Source model of sharing knowledge, discoveries, and developments is spreading beyond software everyday.
The Eco-Patents Commons from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), aims at sharing patents to reduce pollutions. IBM, Nokia, Pitney Bowes and Sony have already pledged 31 patents to the Eco-Patents Commons.
I believe that the Open-Source model can greatly accelerate the development of humanity vital solutions in sustainable development, health and balanced nutrition.
