my first reaction to Glaxo's approach to find a cure for malaria was not positive. Although the company has corporate social responsibilities to be fulfilled, but it could harm the company's customer base and does not bring good return to the shareholders. As a pharmaceutical company, it is always profitable to research and come up with a cure, formulate a product and recover the expenses with profits from the market. With regards to legal grounds, the company will not be questioned since sharing the data for research is not a problem until and unless there are prohibitions or rights against publicizing the data.
