Knowledge ain't property
How can knowledge be open as long as it's considered "property". Knowledge can't possibly be property. Property is something you can build a fence around and enclose. Property is something you can transfer (sell) to someone else. But then you don't have it anymore. After I teach you that 2 + 2 = 4, I haven't lost that knowledge and I haven't lost the ability to enjoy it and exploit it.
"Intellectual property" is an oxymoron!
And finally some chain-yanking. How can Doc Searls claim copyright on this comment (see below) when he wasn't even the author?
