#1Open content


Humans are communicators


EMRK art 10, Stk. 1. Enhver har ret til ytringsfrihed. Denne ret omfatter meningsfrihed og frihed til at modtage eller meddele oplysninger eller tanker, uden indblanding fra offentlig myndighed og uden hensyn til landegrænser. Denne artikel forhindrer ikke stater i at kræve, at radio-, fjernsyns- eller filmforetagender kun må drives i

henhold til bevilling.

LEGO Mindstorms


LEGO goes open source

1 May 2006. LEGO press release

Hacke r s , Ge t Ready ! LEGO Group Announces Open Source F i rmware, Developer Kits for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT

Consumer-directed robotics experience creation to enter “NXT” phase with open f i rmware, Sof tware, Hardware and Bluetooth Developer Kits to launch in August


Background● Mindstorms robots launched in 1998● The best-selling LEGO product ever● Huge Mindstorm community● LEGO was and is not a software

company● Only minor upgrades to the firmware● Several parallel Mindstorms OS’s


Challenges● LEGO was not comfortable with “openness”● LEGO has been and is extremely reliant on

strong IPRs● ”You don't give away IPRs for free”● Turbulent period for LEGO in general● Third party software included


Solution● Embrace User driven innovation● Open source as the enabler● Third party permission for redistribution

under an OS license● Choice of license

− ”Genuine” open source licence− Permissive (Academic) or Copyleft

(reciprocal license)


The OS license choice● Mozilla Public license v. 1.1● Weak copyleft● Modification is limited altering the

files● “I did not understand GPL v.2”● LEGO was only concerned with

modifications of the actual files

103


The “beauty” of the solution!• Huge press coverage and goodwill• Large number of downloads of code• Much more “intelligence” in the bricks• Convincing strategy towards

competitors• Option to “close” the code again

• Many more bricks sold!

104


Dual licensing


CASE: MySQLDual-licensing

• The software company perspective• The same code is licensed under two

different licences:–MySQL Community Server: GPL v.2

with FOSS exception–MySQL Enterprise: Commercial license

106


Owner's prerogative

● The owner can decide to release under any and as many terms she likes

● Dual licensing is only possible for owner's own modfications

● Or assigned modifications● Control is necessary to mitigate liability● ”Closing in” the code again


Copyright and control• MySQL has exclusive copyright to

the code• MySQL controls and certifies the

code• The GPL does not give any rights

to use MySQLs trademarks

108


Why pay?

• Certification of the code• Warranties• Maintenance and support• Copyleft exemption

109


Still not convinced?

• MySQL AB was in 2008 bought by Sun Microsystem, Inc. for approximately USD $1 billion in total consideration

110


CASE: NITA

• Danish National IT and Telecom Agency

• eFaktura (NemHandel) • Electronic invoices to, from and

between public agencies• Core service: UDDI registry for

webservice to identify senders and receivers

111


Challenges• Two applications provided by

NITA to user (e.g. ERP vendors)• API between users’ ERPs and

UDDI WS• Reference implementation

integrating API with ERP• NITA wanted to release the

application under an OS license

112


Goals

• Satisfying the politicians• Wide adoption of UDDI• Community based improvement

of the API• Many vendors should integrate

API into their ERP

113


Solutions• API

–Copyleft–Mozilla public license v. 1.1

(maybe EUPL v. 1.1)

• Reference implementation–Permissive licence–FreeBSD license
