The document discusses open innovation in Linux and open source software. It describes how innovation occurs through collaboration and building upon previous work (increasing returns), and how defensive publications and patent pools can help ensure freedom of operation for open source. The Open Invention Network works to acquire patents and facilitate defensive publications to create a "no fly zone" around Linux and prevent patent litigation.
