1. The document discusses the importance of user-centric identity and vendor relationship management (VRM) for modern business relationships and the economy.
2. It argues that the traditional split between producers and consumers is outdated and that users now both consume and produce, so relationships need to be built on voluntary engagement rather than "capturing" users.
3. VRM aims to put users in control of managing relationships with vendors on their own terms, expressing preferences and allowing transactions to occur on a user's own schedule and criteria. This would humanize relationships for both users and businesses.

Making Money is Important! Open Business Models as an Integrated Part of Crea...Haggen So
Creative Commons was found due to the failure to stop the Copyright Term Extension Act. This ever increasing control is imposed on us in the name of the benefits of the creators, with the latest incarnation as the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. By giving creators tools to receive revenue without retaining full copyright, we can demonstrate that open business models are viable alternatives other than control. The success of "Made with Creative Commons" strongly indicated that Open Business Models should be an integrated part of the Creative Commons Movement

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?

7. Source Code
• Computer Instructions are coded in binary
format 00101...
• A more human friendly method to program
computer:
/* Hello World program */
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{ printf("Hello World"); }
8. Source Code (Cont.)
• Convert source code into binary instructions by
a computer compiler
• Vertical market – one supplier for all computer
needs
• Source code by itself own had no commercial
value -> freely distributed
11. Changes in Computer Industry
• Personal computers - hardware and software
could be sold separately
• Money could be made by closing up source
code
• Some programmers sold the copyright of the
source code of collaborative projects and stole
of work of others
• AT&T Unix incident
13. Responses to the Theft
• Release source code that could not be used
commercially
• Release source code that must remain freely
available -> Software Freedom
• 1983 GNU project, Unix Clone
• 1985 Free Software Foundation, Free as in
Free Speech, General Public License (GPL)
14. Free/Open Source Software
