325_ Open Source, a pathway to innovation and much, much more
 Imagine you buy a software company. The transaction is completed. There’s a knock on your door. A stranger is here to confirm that you are not in breach of his ‘open source software license’. You call your attorney for help. That’s where Jason Haislmaier, HRO, enters the scene. He is recognized by many as the “Open Source Legal Guru” in Colorado. When we asked how he got into this field? his reply was direct and to the point. "Simply put, I was driven by client need."
Having earned an engineering degree prior to law school, Jason has a natural affitinity and appreciation for the technical issues he handles today. "As a software vendor, it's not uncommon to have your software product comprised of software that you've developed in-house, that you would consider proprietary, perhaps third party software that you've licensed in, and from open source software, and it's all working together. It is that comingling or interaction of the softwares that, from a legal standpoint, creates some of the stickier areas under the open source license. Even if you're not a vendor, if you're a data center, it's the same thing.
"Open source software, at its core, is licensed. Licenses can be breached and that can create liability; and in come the lawyers. And that’s where a lot of the legal aspects of open source come about. It’s very difficult to talk about open source software without talking about the legal aspects of open source software.

326_ ‘Clean Tech Community’ on the Good Side and the Bad
 It’s interesting to see what’s going on in the ‘clean tech community’ on the good side and the bad. There has been a bit of a bubble in the area. A lot of us in the community and the popular press have gotten a little over excited about the pace of technological innovation. The venture community in the US hasn’t jumped heavily into ‘wind power’ and that ironically has one of the best economics in terms of its efficiency and cost per watts produced. There has been huge public market investment and private equity investment in that area. Bill Reichert, Managing Partner at Garage Technology Ventures shares his insights, plus 10 points 'Small Is Beautiful'.

327_ From Mir Space Station to Curiosity to Talking Plants
 Colorado farm owners will soon have the capability of watering plants only where and how much is needed. Richard Stoner, CEO of AgriHouse, Inc. discusses the novel leaf sensory technology optioned from the CU TTO in February. The company recently won a $150,000 STTR grant to develop the project, which will enable feedback and intelligent watering of crops.

The project also received a $10,000 proof-of-concept grant from the CU TTO in 2006.

CB-24_ On Management: Playing the Name Game
Before I started Wiesner Publishing some 26 years ago, I had been through a rough period for a couple of years. I had helped to build another publishing company and had gotten pushed out. It all ended one night at dinner in Colorado Springs. We had a stand-up shouting match that ended with him saying," You can’t quit. You’re fired!" or I said, "You can’t fire me. I quit!" I don’t know which. Read the entire column at ColoradoBiz. Also ask Pat Wiesner your own questions on his blog, "Wiesner's World."
