Gerd Sebald: Offene Wissensökonomie. Analysen zur Wissenssoziologie der Free/Open Source-Softwareentwicklung. VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften, Wiesbaden, 2008 (in German language)

Vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussion um die "Wissensgesellschaft" analysiert Gerd Sebald die spezifischen Strukturen einer Ökonomie des Wissens im Unterschied zur klassischen Warenökonomie. Die Vermutung, dass der Gegenstand "Wissen" sich gegen eine Kommodifizierung sperrt und eine wissensbasierte Ökonomie daher einer anderen Logik als jener des traditionellen Marktes folgt, bestätigt der Autor mit Analysen zur diskursiven Konstitution, einer ethnographischen Untersuchung der Mikrostrukturen und theoretischen Überlegungen anhand der Free/Open Source-Softwareentwicklung (F/OSS).

[Gerd Sebald: Open economy of knowledge. Analyses related to the sociology of knowledge of Free/Open Source software development.]

[Based on the discussion of a "knowledge society", Gerd Sebald is analyzing the specific structures of an economy of knowledge in contrast to the classical economy of goods. The author confirms the assumption that the topic "knowledge" is incompatible with commodification and that a knowledge-based economy, in consequence, follows another logic as that of the traditional market. This is done using analyses of the discursive constitution, an ethnographic investigation of micro-structures, and a theoretical approach to the Free and Open Source software (F/OSS) development.]
