Economic Paradigms of Software Development

There are four economic models for software development: retail, in-house and contract, efforts at collaboration without open source licensing and open source. The differentiating issues are: how they distribute the cost of development, how they distribute the risk of failure, their efficiency in funding software development rather than overheads of the process and the degree to which others can be excluded from using the software. A comparison regarding the below four paradigms can be consulted in the appendix section.[1]

P4KO, OK?

P4KO is coming at cha' from San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Discovered this guy and found his tunes to rock, hard core. Not quit sure what the moniker stands for, but who cares? What's in a name, especially when the music speaks the ancient tongue of le Daft Punk?

P4KO started producing tunes in Oh Seven after holding it down on drums and guitar for several local bands in Mexico. The 'P' traded analogue for digital at the influence of MSTRKRFT, Daft Punk, DANGER!, and all those other pesky French fellows. He's also quit the graphic designer, you can check his work here.

If you peep his myspace, you can sample much more tunage, but the dude was nice enough to lend us the following frequency frickesy:

P4KO - A.Y.B.

Miami vibe, through and through! Where yer Wayfarers at??

P4KO - Where is my Mind?

Have I mentioned Daft Punk with this guy yet? Total groovy number on this one.
