@smallcircles I have had endless 'discussions' in non-tech related orgs using big tech for office related tasks, and I have consistently lost the arguments, mostly due to some type is 'convenience' position, even after implementing FOSS solution which have been successful in the orgs. My personal opinion on licensing is release everything under non-commercial, no profit can be extracted from the use of the tool. cut capitalists out entirely. I don't know if this makes a diff though. 2/2

@houba yes, totally. The license is but a small tool in the toolbox. Some actors are repelled by #copyleft, but still we have this open kitchen then, where they learn all the recipes and let #FOSS folks explore the market for them on the cheap. In a separate branch I mentioned the concept of "commons based" as a way forward, where the #SocialWeb and #PersonalSocialNetworking form the collaboration environments for cocreation.. https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116318450093978488 The chaotic commons is big. How do we foster chaordic organization, so that FOSS projects and initiatives are encouraged to pay attention beyond their direct scope, to dedicate collectively to the health of the ecosystem and key enabling technologies such as #ActivityPub that they rely upon? Here #HedonicPeerProduction comes in, which can be supported on the #SocialNetwork itself. Different than top-down enforced #community #governance, which only works at small scales, self-interest is basis for participation. https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/
