OSS project 及 team 的鑑價

這一段對於 OSS project 及 team 的鑑價，提示了一些思考的角度。

"The fact that it is open source does not mean that it has no owners. The copyright of the code belongs to someone (or some entity, like a company). This it the intellectual property (IP).You could argue that the fact that the source code has been made open source, and released under some OS license, reduces the value of the IP. But there are other things that can be bought as part of a 'project', these are a trade mark and a domain name. This is the case of JBoss for example, I think that in their case, they could not sell the IP because it belonged to dozens of contributors. Still, the domain name, trade mark and know-how was bought for many millions... :)"
