Zwei junge Designerinnen von Burda, Nora Abousteit und Benedikta Kara, haben ihren Chef von einer Open Source Politik überzeugt. Two young fashion designers of Burda have convinced their boss to support Open Source fashion and introduce Open Source Patterns. They coexist with proprietary patterns in an unclear way.... http://www.burdastyle.com/ I wonder if anybody can do serious research on the implications of this and the dynamics! I did not find any protection and aggregation mechanism like GPL for "open source sewing patterns" so far
I tried looking at this in the 90s - there was already a long history of clashes between a sharing design culture and magazines who would provide forums and other support and then claim ownership of the designs. Here's a typical story from the USA: http://members.forbes.com/forbes/2000/1225/6616090a.html There had then been attempts to create gpl style licenses, but people were not interested and they disappeared. That seems to be true even now: eg. http://london-crafts.etla.org/ run by Kake who is a programmer and knows all about licenses.. Graham (you wrote in English first, don't blame me ;-)
