Contemporary forms of relationship between capital and technicality: study about the genesis of microprocessors of proprietary and free license

The object of this dissertation is the study of the relationship between technicality and capital from the Intel's development of microprocessors, in the period 1971-1999, and the Open Cores' development of microprocessor, in the period 1999-2013 ¿ the first a worldwide company, the second an international community of free hardware ¿ and how both had converted such technical objects in capital. It is compared, on one side, how Intel has registered its microprocessors in proprietary licenses and invested in an international microcomputer industry, in which technical knowledge is restricted to inventors companies. On the other hand, how the community OpenCores has registered its microprocessors in free licenses and participated of an international movement that offers full technical knowledge at the same time while generates capital by providing installation and maintenance services in microcomputers. Finally, here, as reference for theoretical understanding of the concepts of technicality and capital, the kinds of labor and value generation, are studied the work of Simondon, The Mode of Existence of Technical Objects, and the work of Marx, The Capital (AU)
