We are building something fairly complex. |
53 |
|
Build a hyperstructured desktop enviroment. |
54 |
|
Tools for knowledge workers. |
55 |
|
|
56 |
|
Our main areas (all strongly interrelated) |
57 |
|
User interfaces |
58 |
|
Research on the new possibilities that a more hyperstructural |
59 |
|
approach to information opens to user interfaces. Many more |
60 |
|
things can be done |

|
Structure |

- mostly LGPL, most valuable innovations GPL. |

|
- if we ever acquire patents, we shall make a worldwide |
87 |
|
irrevocable license grant for use in GPL software |
88 |
|
- we are funded by companies who will either own |
89 |
|
or license these patents; we have an understanding |
90 |
|
that they will grant the GPL rights: this does not |
91 |
|
undermine their business interests. |
