Create “transparent” technologies, ones that are
easily understood by the users, and promote local innovation.
The wh*** is greater than the sum of its parts and we want to promote the "Bazaar" model over the "Cathedral" so we try to avoid proprietary platforms that give any group an unfair advantage. We want a level playing field...from each according to their abilities, to each according to their need. The age of the haves versus the have nots is over. Yes, one should be free to benefit from their work: one should not be granted a license to exploit in perpetuity. Share and share alike!
We need to realize that not only is it desirable for software platforms to be open source, but blueprints, hardware, seeds, algorithms, processes, all must be freely available to the end user to edit as they see fit, whether it be to increase efficiency or just make a better fit for the person or community using it.
