(2003-09-02) Open Source Character

An interesting Open Source/Intellectual Property experiment: Jenny Everywhere, a Comic Book character in the Public Domain. "People constantly ask me how I could give up a piece of intellectual property so readily," says Jenny creator Steven Wintle. "The truth of it is that she would have been packed away and grown moldy if I hadn't set her free." With a growing number of stories in print and online, The Shifter's momentum is indisputable, blasting away Wintle's initial expectations and opening an Open Source avenue most comic creators hadn't previously considered.
