The embattled OLPC program, already hard hit by job cuts and salary decreases, makes a last attempt to hold: Open source everything and hope that enough companies to copy the design, to be profitable.

The news was front man of OLPC Nicholas Negroponte himself, during the speech this week the TED conference 2009

Blogger Ethan Zuckerman, reporting of TED, said Negroponte hopes that the new open-source hardware design is referred to as “something that all the copies.”

“Commercial markets will go to no end to stop. This is a kind of tragedy,” said Negroponte. “The future of One Laptop Per Child is to go from large to small letters,” to “build something that all the copies. ”

According to Negroponte, the open architecture will enable companies worldwide to create 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. million units per month in three years. That is a lot of little green mean machine, with the strange alien WiFi antennas.

And while this sounds rather technical, licensing as a real “open source”, it will be interesting to see what companies cook with the help of the OLPC design in the next few years.
