Welcome!
Imagine if there would not be public parks, internet would be a commercial product with proprietary limitations or if we would not have Linux, Android, WordPress, Wikipedia, Barcode, etc. I think we all would agree, that we simple would not have the internet and access to knowledge and solutions built on top of those as we have today.
We at Startup Commons believe that not only should globally neutral innovation entrepreneurship knowledge be free to the world, but it should also be properly organized. And that the best way to make it possible, is by collaborative open development, supported by logical open standard framework and collaborative structures.
