GPL survives antitrust challenge - againGPL survives antitrust challenge - againPosted Nov 10, 2006 10:40 UTC (Fri) by MathFox (guest, #6104)In reply to: GPL survives antitrust challenge - again by bojan Parent article: GPL survives antitrust challenge - again I like it where the judge says (on page 5): Intellectual property can be used without being used up; the marginal cost of an additional user is zero [...] so once a piece of intellectual property exists the efficient price of an extra copy is zero, for that is where price equals marginal cost.That is the fundamental economic argument behind Open Source and Creative Commons. Thanks to the Internet, distribution has become so cheap that setting a price for a creative work causes more trouble than it's worth for most cretive people.
