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