Paul, To me it seems that Unamesa is different than the foundations quoted above. It has an espoused purpose beyond the not-for-profit safekeeping of the IP. I think that it is this that makes it different than the open source projects you list, but not sure.
About open innovation; the question of "what is after open innovation?' in the context of R&D management is one that i have heard recently. I floated the idea that the IP-in-a-charity-with-specific-projects-model might be an innovation. There seems to be a shift in values amongst the business students and tech people I meet. They appear to be more interested in sharing and charity rather than forging white hot careers or developing a mega cool application - (which is what they were into last year) . Some companies might have difficulties in attracting interesting and talented people. Some drug companies, for example, might be having difficulties developing their innovation strategies because their values might not concur with those of the current generation of students and potential recruits. If they had an "Osmosoft BT Unamesa" informed identity – the 'IP-in-a-charity-with-specific-projects-model?' – they would develop a culture more attractive to employees and might even and culture get a 'community' themselves. (It would be wonderful to have a Gregs, Jeremys, Erics, FNDs, GiffMexes, Wolfgangs, Morrises, Skyes, Udos, BidiXes( and PSDs) in all the communities and markets in which one belongs?)
