INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

I have two degress in Information Science so if something know is a lot about intellectual properties, patents, official registers, costs...

When had study "Library Science" i lived the "The First Digital Revolution : Digitalization " and was when begin the "www" it´s been fantastic to live the 2nd so in the way, if something it´s helping me to grow it´s been the Open Sources.

Since the invention of the internet, copyright law has been ‘strengthened’ to further restrict the public’s legal rights to copy and share on the internet. For example, in 2012 the US Supreme Court on upheld the US Congress’s right to extend copyright protection to millions of books, films, and musical compositions by foreign artists that once were free for public use. Lawrence Golan, a University of Denver music professor and conductor who challenged the law on behalf of fellow conductors, academics and film historians said ‘they could no long afford to play such works as Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf,” which once was in the public domain but received copyright protection that significantly increased its cost.’

OPEN EDUCATIONAL LICENSES

While existing laws, old business models, and education content procurement practices make it difficult for teachers and learners to leverage the full power of the internet to access high-quality, affordable learning materials, OER can be freely retained (keep a copy), reused (use as is), revised (adapt, adjust, modify), remixed (mashup different content to create something new), and redistributed (share copies with others) without breaking copyright law. OER allow the full technical power of the internet to be brought to bear on education. OER allow exactly what the internet enables: free sharing of educational resources with the world.

Open licenses. The importance of open licensing in OER is simple. The key distinguishing characteristic of OER is its intellectual property license and the legal permissions the license grants the public to use, modify, and share it. If an educational resource is not clearly marked as being in the public domain or having an open license, it is not an OER. Some educators think sharing their digital resources online, for free, makes their content OER — it does not. Though it is OER if they go the extra step and add an open license to their work.

The most common way to openly license copyrighted education materials — making them OER − is to add a Creative Commons license to the educational resource. CC licenses are standardized, free-to-use, open copyright licenses that have already been applied to more than 1.2 billion copyrighted works across 9 million website

Here is an great book which explain the OER in details : "The Philosophy and Practices that are Revolutionizing Education and Science". Edited by Rajiv Jhangiani and Robert Biswas-Diener, features the work of open advocates around the world, including Cable Green, Director of Open Education at Creative Commons.

So many reasons for choose an Open License such as Creative Commons :

OTHER LICENSES : COMPARISIONS

I was reading about others like :

The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the community in the case of network server software. The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to provide the source code of the modified version running there to the users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source code of the modified version.

The MIT License for software also called the X11 License, as say at their web :

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

INVENTION

I can see a Faito´s Final Version as a product, WHY? I work at Robots Museum too and they have a shop where sale all kinds of Techno-TOYS and Gadgets, the also develop his own product in China so i know the market from first hand and i know if a show to my boss probably he like it. But is a personal research for made extensible a future workshop for K12. The project involve actually "Open Source Softwaresin the future it will to use for teach how to code with scratch another MIT tool for kids

I used a lot in the schools for teach about any subject :

Or How to design with Tinker CAD :

So i decided choose this one :

Licencia de Creative Commons
Faito v 1.0 : A Fabable Kite for Respect the Environment by Pilar González Caballero is licensed under a Creative Commons Reconocimiento-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacional License.

INCOME

  • The idea is have a Fabable Product too : A basic workshop for extend the learn and use the tools and techniques to kids, they love the fablabs.

  • The Project actually is supported as i mentioned by a small company so this show me how it can be of interest for others.

  • Of course the project must to have more versions, another reason for "be Share" but actually i have some friends with the idea to help me with aerodinamics studies and weights thanks to their experts knowledges. The Project have a "TO BE CONTINUED"

  • This summer i will meet the FabLab Lagos. During the Academy i was conecting with the network and gent-lovely people there and one of them was Lucio Pentagna his founder i deciced to make him a propose for to make things there.

    WEEK CONCLUSIONS

    This week i was focuss in the develope of my Final Project but make the task was a good way for thing in the future of my prototype and be realistic.
