18 Open Source vs. Open Standards! There is a built in tension between the two approaches! Open standards provide value only if everyone complies with the standard! IPR commitments are limited to compliant implementations! Copyright applies only to standards, not to implementations! Participants are subject to explicit IPR policies and obligations

19 Open Source vs. Open Standards! Open source software derives its value from allowing anyone to change it! May or may not be contribution agreements! Many participants may be subject to non-member inventions agreements or work for hire obligations! Patents are often not addressed at all! Copyright applies to the deliverable itself! Commercializing software under restrictive licenses can impose IPR and code-contributions on non-members
