What is an open source license and what alternatives does open source practices offer companies and organisations?
In the book “Made with Creative Commons”, Paul Stacey and Sarah Hinchliff Pearson dive into how we share resources and why it isn’t working – and present several examples of companies and organisations that have successfully made revenue using open-source principles.
The full book can be found here. Of course, it’s open source, so that you yourself can reuse, remix, and share it however you want.
