Freedom and mythology: our tuppence worth
For us, free does
not necessarily mean 'free of charge' but available for all and open for
everyone to distribute and to build on. We believe that the creators 1. Owning ideas increases their value. 1. The value of an idea is directly proportional to its breadth and
the myriad forms of its adoption.
of
ideas deserve to be paid for their efforts and that many of the current
structures for capitalising
on ideas give to little reward to those that generate them. We think that
the root of this issue lies in a number of popular misconceptions about
the nature of ideas. We call these the 'top 3 myths of creativity'.
2. Ideas are always created by individuals working in isolation.
3. Only certain types of people have ideas worth listening to.
2. Ideas must divide and evolve in order to survive - at times certain
species will become dominant but there is always an asteroid around the
corner!
3. Ideas are rarely the work of single originality but rather, we are
all nodes in a network of idea space.
There is a legal framework that supports this approach to creativity. You can find it here.
