Almost a year ago, I had the opportunity to watch Tord Wingren, a co-creator of Bluetooth, present at my college. During this, he discussed software licensing and conveyed important ideals. These are the notes I took that day:

When it comes to licensing, one must be generous.

Companies should compete on products, not technology.

To be a leader on one or two segments does not mean we could cover the world. We need to be generous... so that others can create a much bigger market (for everyone).
