| + | == Why this is necessarily a success == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Take an example '''[http://goldendict.berlios.de GoldenDict]''', software to translate by simple-click, better than Babylon because free (under licence GNU GPL) ! How a private company can compete a legal free software, mainly built reusing other legal free components (e.g. including translation software StarDict under licence GNU GPL). | ||
| + | |||
| + | This pyramid of free components can be enriched with no limit quite quickly, as a chain of consequences. This produces more and more sophisticated software, providing myriads of functionalities as synonyms, phrase translation, encyclopedias in all languages, etc., all through simple-click. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This single example should convince that sharing and reuse freely provides necessarily a virtuous result, for the benefit of everybody, rich or not (assuming the access is available). | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Examples of success == | ||
| + | Here are examples of success (even in not in ''public domain'', at least most of them are in open ''commons'' licences): | ||
| + | * Wikipedia and many encyclopedias, as [[Issuepedia]] | ||
| + | * GNU-GPL, open source software, as LINUX, FireFox, Mozilla, etc. | ||
| + | * some blog and forum contents | ||
| + | * Free art | ||

| + | :To develop a new type of electric car. C,mm,nity is open to anyone with a creative, intelligent and enterprising perspective on mobility issues, and who wants to help create a better world. C,mm,n follows the open source model: as with open source software, we focus our services around the product. Anyone can use it to offer mobility services, just as long as any derived work produced is released back to the community under an open source licence. Please read about our latest developments here. | ||

| + | ;Note: The deployement of open-source licences as GNU-GPL/FDL, Free Art license, Creative Commons ShareAlike, is a useful step before the public domain. Indeed any modification is authorized, provided that the new work is also under same license. | ||
