CARAVAGGIO, Leonardo A.. Incentivos para la innovación: freeware, open source, y derechos de propiedad intelectual. Estud. Econ. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.75, pp. 149-169. ISSN 2525-1295.

This paper analyzes, from an economic perspective, different technological challenges faced by incentives to innovation. Freeware and open source seem to provide the answer that will make the software industry sustainable in the coming years in the face of the accelerated process of possibility of copying. They may even contain answers for other industries that face a similar situation. A better understanding of the incentives will be the key to carry it out. The work looks in particular at the Argentine case.
