Removing Obstacles on Joint Research

Mark_Uplanguage writes "The New York Times is reporting that a conglomeration of 7 universities and 4 industry partners have agreed to open up software created out of industry funding. From the article: 'The tone was set, Ms. Mitchell said, by the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, which allowed universities to hold the patents on federally funded research and to license that intellectual property to industry [...]The guidelines and framework for the agreement will [be] posted this week at www.ibm.com/university, and at the Kauffman foundation's site, www.kauffman.org.' It's nice to see people sharing again."

    Removing Obstacles on Joint Research

    Ensure all twigs and seeds are removed from the pot.

    Grind it up to a nice fine consistency.

    Don't lick the paper too much or it'll get soggy.
