Re: [ba-ohs-talk] Re: Rethinking Licensing
The risks you allude to may be real, but I don't yet see them. (01)
How is it that a MS could come to dominate in such a system? (02)
Especially if, say,
a) Royalties were capped at 10 or 15% of a product's price.
(So percentages would be the norm, rather than a flat fee.) (03)
b) The warehouse of code suppliers had everyone's stuff
side by side, so even if MS's routine to do X were there,
your routine would be right next to it, with pricing and
user ratings, as well. So if your routine cost less, had a
smaller footprint, and better ratings from users, why
wouldn't I use it? (04)
