Mtias,

I know a few other startups trying to adopt similar “revenue sharing” principles to media and content in general. Our approach is focused on software but could easily be adapted to most immaterial intellectual property. What I have not seen elsewhere is so much emphasis on fairness.

i think this is brilliant. looks like it could also be applied to any digital material used later for commercial purpose. could be another license under the initiative over at creative commons project for example http://www.creativecommons.org/

This looks interesting.

I would like to see a similar initiative in the area of inventions.

Patent law protects those with lawyers and money. That normally excludes the backyard inventor. A “fair” compensation system modeled after this idea could be of great use in helping useful energy inventions emerge into production.
