Intel to Universities: No Patents, Please, Just Open Source

http://j.mp/oTuOBT (Innovation Excellence)

    "... the company [Intel] has made it a condition that in order to
     receive the millions, your university must open source any
     resulting software and inventions that come out of this research
     funding. Yes, open source. Your university cannot stake claim
     to any patents. There will be no intellectual property clauses,
     no negotiations, no nonsense."
