Adrian, If I may, I believe the question you posed is utterly non-sense. Economic models attempt to describe real-world occurances, observations, transactions, behaviors. Open source software are real-world objects that are produced, traded, and used. Thus, however one goes about producing software, these real-world behaviors just cannot "get into hot water" relative to any economic model. One the other hand, certain economic models may not adequately describe/explain/predict certain real-world occurances. Then, maybe a new model is needed. If I misunderstood your question, please feel free to clarify. Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P. Ho, M.D. OIO: Open Infrastructure for Outcomes www.TxOutcome.Org
