AI programs, Free software, Open Source, Welfare, Collective goodsResumo
The overall impact of programs embedded in information technology applications have special characteristics. The structural offer of new technology programs has, today, three options: Free software, Open source, and paid software. The paper discusses each offer and explores weaknesses and strengths analysis of the goods and services produced. Strengths, weaknesses, and benefits advocated are increasing or decreasing private and Welfare surplus impact. Different offers, or a mix of offers, deserve attention because the resulting framework implied users risks, regulations, collective and private property rights, and benefits changing more Welfare surplus. As a result, we guess software innovation is better suited to a common good or collective property or better to a common math-based language than a private right. We suggest bypassing Free, Open source, and paid offers and the conflict based on the property rights system to increase the Welfare surplus.
