Description

Sam Rose:

"Basically, consumers can fund small amounts up front, to engineers who make a social contract with them to produce a proposed technology product at cost of parts and labor. The technology designs are released under an open license, they are not patented. And, the entire enterprise can be recreated because there is a reporting process that tries to make transparent what is done with the funding to develop products. Trying to show a best effort on many dimensions that the product was not intentionally made scarce.

The biggest obstacle right now to what we are proposing, and to what you are proposing, is a basic "literacy" among most people you would present the idea to, about how it can works as an alternative to what they are currently doing."
