GROUND LAB Part 3: How open source objectively affected our development process

“Our business functions within the current economic system led
by the United States, which has its theoretical basis in the
organization of a society’s capital, based on the needs of
production and the demand for that production. The current actual
management of capital is secluded into non-production or
demand-related structures of finance, but with open source
information practices and new data management systems, a more
informed, faster-responding network of capital procurement and
structuring is possible.

“Using the tools mentioned above, we are starting to replace
current business structures and streamline our business by making
direct connections with our users and clients and the sources for
the materials necessary for our products. We are replacing middle
management with software tools, leaving labor to run a functional
capitalistic market. Open source, as we have come to use it, is not
against patents of use, but against patents of labor.”
