Description
This volume celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Washington University Journal of Law & Policy, a symposium-based publication committed to bringing together communities of scholars through a mutual and collaborative student and faculty process, emphasizing existing and emerging visions of the law in relation to interdisciplinary and multicultural perspectives, the implications of technology, and the consequences of economic globalization. (1) It is eminently fitting that this tenth anniversary volume of the Journal, an official scholarly publication of Washington University School of Law, should be devoted to the topic, "Open Source and Proprietary Models of Innovation: Beyond Ideology," for as an article in this symposium volume notes, one of the most enduring historical examples of a cultural commons, neither wholly "open" nor wholly "proprietary," is that of the university itself. (2) In keeping with the stated mission of the Journal, this symposium volume brings together communities of scholars to examine contemporary examples of open source innovation and emerging visions as to the interface of open source and proprietary models of innovation both within and outside the university. It also explores the impact that one of the key technologies that universities helped foster--namely the Internet--has had in stimulating global interest in open source innovation, and considers what implications this growing interest in open innovation may have for other technological and creative fields.
