Open source vs intelectual property

I might be shooting myself in the foot here, but I passionately believe in open source. Ideas that further the course of man should not be owned by anyone, but be accessible to everyone.This flies in the face of a company that charges for ideas. If everyone has access to the idea then there is no value on it. And we sell ideas; not pretty pictures. It's a dichotomy.

That said, today I listened to a Radio 4 programme that was an anology for that. It talked about a different discipline, but the root causes and effects are the same as in the design world.

Listen to it and make your own mind up.
