Abstract :
Now open source style R&D is not only community based R&D but also adoptable for business. But each open source projects have their own licences. We analyse open source licenses by cluster analysis and find the importance of standards. This means that standards for license like creative commons need for easy adoption of open source programs as a part of legacy business programs. On the other hand patent pool or other frameworks starts to adopt for sharing intellectual property rights among companies, organisations, and universities. Then we show the new model for open based R&D on business.
