Open Source Dividends

= used in the context of Medical_Innovation_Inducement_Prizes , a funding mechanism for healthcare research

Proposal

Jamie Love and Tim Hubbard:

"After a series of workshops on medical innovation inducement prizes, proposals also emerged to include new “open source dividends,” which involve sharing of prize money to entities that openly share access to knowledge, materials and technology. The open source dividends were modeled in several of the 2008 Bolivia Barbados prize proposals, and have unfortunately been ignored by some of those who have commented on those proposals."
