in Software engineering, stealing is called "reuse", and is a good thing.
Like in research, the requirement is to be clear who you copied and pay him what he deserve (copyright, citation, credits). Big problems, are caused by the NIH syndrome (not invented here), and by scientists not replicating, not considering, not using others research. Note that when you talk of innovation you realize that the technology is a tiny part of the story, and should not be a cash cow. Telcos should not be cash cows or it will kill the revolution of usage that is the real INNOVATION. typically building a cash cow with technology is the best way to maintain the current usage of technologies, and prevent new usage. if mobile telcos were selling IP data at the old price, people will seldon use it for high value transaction like checking timetable, and not al all for applications like Waze, Uber, and simply Wikipedia. What did innovators in silicon valley from Palo Alto innovations, is exploit them to make them popular. that is the real meaning of innovation. there is an article that I cite in this post http://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/index.php/Thread/2285-Uberization-Teslaization-models-of-disruption/ about the two axis of innovation, by technology (teslaization) or by market (uberization). http://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/index.php/Thread/2285-Uberization-Teslaization-models-of-disruption/ in france, Philippe Silberzahn have very interesting articles. http://philippesilberzahn.com/ maybe you can also find english article he refers to. All of that to say that the problem is not copying, it is good, but payback model. 2015-11-17 20:52 GMT+01:00 Jed Rothwell <[email protected]>: > Axil Axil <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> Jobs and Bill Gates stole everything they ever did.
