Making speeches talk

excerpt from: Research and Innovation in ICT: Time for radical change?

[...] And most of all, I want us to be more challenging and responsive in how we manage projects. There's nothing wrong with taking a risk. But if a project turns out not to work as intended, funders should be able to stop it, and free up innovators for other challenges.

Sure. But nothing is ever a complete failure. Rate reusability and maintenance-friendlyness as the highest achievable characteristic in innovative projects.

Chris has a good point here. But re-usability needs an IPR framework. I suggest looking at what www.etsi.org have done. Has worked very well.
