It seems like I’m constantly having the same discussions with different people about the Open Design aspect of The Hackaday Prize. I get arguments from both sides; some attest that there should be no “openness” requirement, and others think we didn’t set the bar nearly high enough. Time to climb onto my soap box and throe down some sense on this argument.

Open source furniture design is popping up these days. Open Design means mainly two things: documentation is shared freely so that users can make their own models, furnitures are made with digital fabrication and can be reproduce in a makerspace or FabLab.

The intent of the patent system is to incentivise innovation and promote the sharing of the results of that development at the end of the patent’s life. The granting of a patent by the state offers a time limited monopoly to the inventor to sell the product of that invention, in exchange for this monopoly , the company agrees to disclose the details of the invention. The basic principle of the patent system is a fair proposal, if you have put in effort and risk to developing something, it is then reasonable that you receive compensation for this. The state intervenes and creates a time-limited monopoly on the behalf of the inventor to protect their investment of time and incentivise others to invest in innovative development. The creation of a monopoly is something which first principle market capitalism abhors, and is not taken lightly, it can introduce market distortions which pull a given market far from being the “perfect market”. The benefit to society in this case comes from the development of a body of published patents which can be studied and developed upon or licensed by others. Previous to the development of patents, specialised technical knowledge was jealously kept within the ranks of mediaeval guilds, with the real danger of losing knowledge or skills if it was not transmitted to the next generation.

This proposal is based on the policy document prepared by the author (Dafermos 2014) on behalf of the FLOK Society research project, with the aim of developing a set of public policy proposals for the transformation of the productive matrix in Ecuador towards a social knowledge economy. However, while the official FLOK version focuses on a specific country, the aim of the present version is to address the need – which is urgently felt in many countries around the world – to develop a radical alternative to the domination of cognitive capitalism. As such, this chapter could be considered a ‘non-country specific’ version of the original FLOK document.

Open Source for hardware and physical objects and processes is a growing movement. But „how to make money with that“ is the question most people ask within the first minutes. There are a lot of answers – a lot of open source hardware business models. And we get more. This page collects answers and organizes them in the „open source hardware business model matrix“.
