Note:
"CoolIP"
(cool IP) is a catch-all for shared AWE
knowledge (FairIP/coopIP)
that combines high open-source freedom with "honor-system" consideration for the
creators, as that knowledge proves commercially valuable to big business. It is
a work-around to the "broken" global patent system, for small inventors. The AWE
Consortium has been challenged in writing to accept cool/fair/coop AWE IP, but
has not yet responded. It will be very hard for AWE companies to
completely
avoid the many good ideas gathered under the CoolIP banner. AWEIA is proposed to
arbitrate eventual fairness disputes related to the new IP vehicle.
Legal Note:
CoolIP is
hereby defined as a Creative-Commons Unported NonCommercial Share-Alike License,
so now we are integrated with the latest standard cooperative IP model, but "CoolIP"
remains a nice shorthand. CC
:: Creative commons. See:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/
CC BY NC SA and CC 4.0 BY NC SA as phrase means the same.
Short or long articles meant for cooperative intellectual
property for AWE matters can be sent to
Editor@UpperWindpower.com for moderated publication
in the AWE community sites.
We will add hyperlinks and do some editing; you may participate in furthering
the same inputs
on the dedicated pages in open-to-public pages.
