The Cooperative Patent License 1.0 is a license designed to bridge the gap between traditional patent regimes and modern, collaborative approaches in the open source world.
This license promotes community cooperation, equitable cross-licensing of patents, and protects contributors from potential exploitation.
Strengths of this license include enforcing transparency, fairness, and preventing unfair commercial exploitation of collective innovation.
Challenges include possible ambiguity, restrictions when interfacing with other licenses, and the need for ongoing community feedback and dialogue.
