summary

Argues that standards bodies and FOSS are converging, supported by a phase model (ideation → specification → implementation → diffusion) and a comparative SWOT plus EU Joint Research Centre study; claims cost of change decides spec‑first vs implement‑first; cites tooling and legal responses like the Open Invention Network patent cross‑licensing; gives surprising scale metrics — 8.5 changes per hour in the Linux kernel and large community sizes e.g. Cloud Foundry 4,000 participants and OpenStack ~6,600 contributors.
