Lawrence Lessig, F. Scott Kief e G. Marcus Cole, Federalist Society’s Intellectual Property Practice Group and its Stanford Law School present a debate on Open Source and Intellectual Property Rights, in University of Massachusetts Law Review, vol. 3, n. 1, gennaio 2008.
«Open source software runs counter to the mission of WIPO, which is to promote intellectual property right. [...] To hold a meeting which has as its purpose to disclaim or waive such rights seems to us to be contrary to the goals of WIPO.»
