Many GVCS projects build upon other prior art that is already in the open source domain. Other projects rely on contributions of professionals who are willing to share IP based on the for-benefit mission of Open Source Ecology. Other projects are more in the IP Rescue category - where OSE either unburies and publishes hard-to-find materias - or pays developers outright to open-source their IP. The latter works particularly well with consultants, who may not be interested in starting their own businesses - so they are willing to generate open IP as long as they are paid. The most challenging case for opening up desirable IP is when developers think, in nearly all cases erroneously - they will be making millions with their innovations - unaware that only 97% of Patents Never Make Any Money, and that 3 of 4 Startups Fail - making the chance of a patent achieving its goals less than 1%. For these potential collaborators, we propose that collaborating for the common good is likely to produce more financial benefit to an individual - unless that individual is an Ellon Musk of similar caliber. Here are some projects that OSE is currently negotiating.
