@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..

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.

@smallcircles The Chaordic stuff looks sound, but could just as easily be a method of cartel building as is the case for VISA. However the Hedonic stuff is highly questionable, and "self-interest is basis for participation." Along with being incompatible with the Chaordic development proposed, it would open the door wide for capitalist tendencies to run wild in any organisation. Have a look at Albert Hirshman's The Passions and the Interests, to see the perniciousness of this idea.
