#OpenIP What I think it is

OpenIP   Open Intellectual Property

OpenIP is the open sharing of information so that software can be written , products can designed and built.  It is not a new paradigm... but is has a new visibility in the brave new world of the Internet.   This includes .....   ( and is not limited to )

Open Source Software
     sourceforg.net
 
Open Hardware

     https://upverter.com/     32,000 designs

Stuff may be shared under various licenses to encourage further sharing or the stuff may be simply Public Domain. I apologize for the many sources of OpenIP I have missed.

What it is not ....
== Some of the software libraries are open source and the rest of the code is secret.
== Licensed patents
== Future promises to share important data
== items that are copyrighted
== Lots of hype that conceals a hidden agenda of stingy sharing
== Software where one version is free to the public



To:   Companies , Organizations and Individuals .. 
    Tell the truth
If you are dedicated to proprietary methods and data... that is fine... please be *open* about your stance.  Marketing hype that pretends to openess   or customer service  or valuing employees  .... and does not  ==> that really sucks     Hidden charges ==> sucks





OpenIP Projects
( I do not warrant these are actually *open*.  I often am fooled by slick palaver. )
OpenSCAD
bitseed meshbox
Open Office
Project Libre


Projects that are pretending to be *Open*
Project Ara by Google   this project is sharing a lot of really great technology information...... but Google is trying to hold back key stuff in order to assert control.
