To built tomorrows Information Society defined by Ambient Intelligence requires a new way of establishing the necessary infrastructure and of distributing Data, Information and Intelligence. A development that should not be dependent upon the wimp of a few very affluent and powerful entities.
On the contrary this requires the involvement of a global community of Information Analysts, IT architects and Engineers from both the Open Source and Commercial environment. Open Source because to achieve an egalitarian development of tomorrow's information society requires the free flow of Data Information and Intelligence to those in need. Commercial because certain developments require upfront investments and thus risktaking, a step the Open Source community is not always willing or capable to take. In the latter case the risktaking should be rewarded by limiting the access on a for Pay basis.
It is therefore that The GravityZoo Company from day one decide to implement a Dual Licensing model.
Most of the non-core components of the GravityZoo Cloud OS will progressively be released into the Open Source community, those components consist of:
- APIs and API documentation: Those are essential building blocks to extend the functionality of the Operating System.
- Toolkits: Those are the ”glue” between GravityZoo Clous OS and “the world around us”.
- UOL: The Universal Object Library will consist of a growing number of “objects”, of which many will be totally open source.
