Microsoft Learns to Share
Seems like a smart move to me, still I have to wonder whether these ideas have potential … supposing that companies of the Microsoft ecosystem had their go already? Anyway, giving some ideas away to smaller and nimble entrepreneurs that can do things a huge organization like MSFT can’t do has its merits … and makes business sense too.
Microsoft is trying to make some money off some of its spare technology, offering entrepreneurs and venture capitalists licenses to […] inventions …
and
[it] is opening up access to 20 technologies […] Agreements will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, giving Microsoft part ownership in startups that buy rights to the company’s technology, royalty payments.
