Open Source Text Book Company Flat World Knowledge Gets Funded (Venture
Capital)

by Michael Masnick from the disruption-on-the-way dept on Friday, March

We wrote about Flat World Knowledge, the open source textbook provider
earlier this year, in noting how the textbook market was ripe for
disruption. It's great to find out that the company has now received $8
million in funding -- which seems to go against a rash of recent stories
from publications about how companies building business models with a
big "free" or "open source" component would have trouble raising money
these days. FWK, of course, is using free properly -- as a part of a
larger business model where scarcities are charged for, but infinite
goods are given away freely. Who knows if it will succeed, but it's nice
to see the vote of confidence from investors.

Laurent,

Serait-il possible, puisque cette information t'es parvenue, que tu nous en dises un peu plus sur cette "startup" de livres scolaires qui aurait reçu 8 millions de dollars de financement. C'est important pour comprendre les modèles économiques potentiels  qui pourraient émerger en France pour des manuels sous licences  de libre diffusion et/ou libres.
