why are these organizations allowed to exist in the first place? don't they conform to the standard definition of 'cartel,' ie:
a group of similar independent companies who join together to control prices and limit competition
(Cambridge International Dictionary of English)
which i believe is currently illegal?
as part of my last year of college (99-00) i was part of a group of four students that was sponsored by WDFA to do research on this very subject. we designed and implemented an algorithm to add a random yet not "jittery" sense movement to line art, in order to save labor and eliminate the need for "tracebacks", hand traces over previously drawn images to create the same effect.
disney was very pleased with our results, but we never designed any sort of interface, just the algorithm. i had been wondering what they were going to wrap it with, but now i see that they're using python. i guess now they'll put this into some sort of GUI.
oh and they never paid us anything for our year of labor, just the pleasure of becoming acclimated to a corporate environment. our school got a nice fat check (far less than they would have had to pay us though).

since when does open source mean unfunded?
there's no reason nasa's code couldn't be open sourced and have the exact same results.

haven't you fools ever heard of Henry Ford's Hemp body car? here's a video of somebody swinging a sledgehammer at it and not even denting it.
