Today’s Pick: Open Source Business Resource (OSBR)
The OSBR examines the issues relevant to the development and commercialization of open source assets. The intent is for the OSBR to:
- help create the right environment for companies to commercialize goods and services based on open source assets
- remove barriers to the commercialization of open source assets
- surface the open source related activity that is going on in companies, universities and governments and knits it together as a cohesive story that we can take to the world
- evolve to satisfy the needs of companies that use open source to compete
Initially, the scope of the OSBR will be the province of Ontario, then Canada, and eventually the world.
