The document discusses the evolution from competition to cooperation in innovation through open source platforms. It argues that pure competition leads to monopolies that stifle innovation, whereas open platforms allow for synergies between private companies and commons. To develop sustainable open source models, the document suggests financing platforms through companies' assessments of value received and contributions made, as well as cultivating a spirit of shared development among individuals. It proposes several approaches for OW2 platforms, including living labs, intelligent agent needs, and data-oriented applications.
