== The Research Focus == | |||
The debate on software licenses themselves is definitively closed; no new research is being conducted to reinvent the wheel regarding 100% Free Software. However, the '''new applied research''' focus of WikiDeal is entirely dedicated to answering a different question: how can we systematically apply these exact same free licenses (such as CC BY-SA) to the domain of commerce? | |||
Specifically, the research explores how contract models, legal clauses, and business texts—which have historically been privatized and enclosed by lawyers and large corporations—can be shared as open, reusable commons. | |||
For the philosophical context of this approach, see the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Intention-and-Vision|Intention and Vision (Research Motto)]]. | |||
