I'm open to new terms, for sure -- especially if it's linked to an effort to build an organization that could be what the FSF never was.
But I also don't mind consciously using the phrases we already have -- reclaiming and repurposing them with context, denying their originators the power to define their legacy.

@eloquence@social.coop @seachaint@hackers.town I'm going to push back on the idea that we need some Official New Organization to proclaim The Definition(TM) of a new term. I think the term "cooperative technology" will be more resilient and flexible if we make it catch on relying on the obvious meaning of those two ordinary words put together. Neither "free software" nor "open source" ever communicated the ideas behind them without further explanation. (Arguably "open source" kinda does to programmers.)
