This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Physical replication falling in price => open source concepts start to leak into the physical realm.
(open source hardware OSHW)

Compatibility

Open wrappers for closed products (in a general sense)

  • hardware adapters software adapter libraries
  • liberation from forced brand loyalty
  • example: Windows to Linux and others OS's by multi-plattform software
  • example: industrial robot wrapper project [todo: add link]

Entirely open whole system

  • no more individuals reinventing the wheel => accumulation of performance capability

Lifting of complementary blockades

  • proprietary good at: profitable luxury goods
  • free libre good at: non-profitable necessary goods

=> mutual motivation by (unexpected) competition (friendly or hostile)
