Hello, I have a company which builds on ZeroMQ. It is an open source company in the area of Cryptocurrencies. A major ZeroMQ contributor has started an identical company which I believe "uses" my inventions. Not just one or two ideas of mine, but a complete software architecture which I've spent a long time developing. I'd be curious to know how this community thinks about such problems. I haven't personally been in a conflict like this before, but it certainly is not very enjoyable to see others taking my inventions and pretending they are theirs (never mind profiting from them).
The concept of the "Collective Code Construction Contract" as a model of open collaboration does not address an issue like this and I'd be curious about opinions. Are opensource principles and business interest compatible at all? What are rights of intellectual property right holders in contracts to the right of copying freely? I'm not referring to ZMQ itself of course, which is LGPL. Regards, Benjamin On Sun, Aug 9, 2015 at 2:31 PM, Benjamin <[email protected]> wrote: > >
