[p2p-research] Reminder: Patent issue

[Michel Bauwens]

Dear friends,

I had an interesting conversation with Franz in Vienna, who sees patents as
a crucial issue hampering the spread of peer production models in the
physical economy,making it impossible for small businesses to join.

I would like to gather some informed and coherent statements on this, first
for publication on the blog, then for using as the basis of a more in-depth
treatment of a new p2p theoretical journal (NOT academic journal) we are
planning to launch,

Michel
