[Open Design] Two simple questions about The Definition

[Massimo Menichinelli]

Furthermore, I think that it is a great thing to learn from Open Source 
software and see how we can extend it to different fields, but we should 
not make the conversion directly without any reflection. Software and 
Design have different processes, laws, communities, cultures and so on, 
so bringing Open Source into Design should be a deeper process than just 
applying the label "Open". That's why we are thinking collaboratively 
about defining Open Design.
