Ten ideas about Ideas (Linux Journal)

Doc Searls has some ideas about ideas and venture capital. "Which has more leverage in the marketplace -- A) disclosure or B) secrecy? Which is more supportive of growing markets -- A) public infrastructure or B) private platforms? Which is better for inventive entrepreneurs -- A) sharing one's great ideas to drive development and adoption, or B) patenting and keeping secret one's "intellectual property"? 'm sure most Linux Journal readers would answer "A" to each of those questions, plus other questions like them. Yet I suspect that most venture capitalists would rather fund the "B" choices."
