Dear Open Sourcers,

I'm currently involved in Luxembourg in information retrieval, processing and information. Having read quite a bit about Open Source, Linux, etc. I thought the same approach could be fruitfuland necessary for longer-lasting reference information (textual, visual, etc). There as well we have a risk of things being monopolized with all its well-known consequences.

So I took some time over the Christmas holidays and adapted some Open Source documents to the concept of Open Information, which could be actually a generalization of the Open Source concept. I attach the amended drafts of your Open Source Definition and its Ratioanale.

Could you please let me know what you think about this idea. Please look at the documents as quickly written Christmas drafts, far from being perfect.

Best wishes for the new year,
Torsten
