Open Source Code
I believe that fair use is a beneficial concept to use when growing an emerging resource. By allowing an unlimited number of individuals to work on promoting a science, piece of work or whatever you are using, there is a virtual worldwide pool of knowledge contributed to it. When an article, movie, or software is freely shared, not only is the material grown exponentially, it is essentially freely distributed for all to see, use and improve. The most notable resource that I thought of was linux. To think that a college student could begin one of the most stable operating systems is very inspirational. This week, I commented on Laslo and Tia's blogs.
