[p2p-research] Choosing the copyfarleft for the P2P Foundation coop

[Michel Bauwens]

that's exactly the goal of the p2p foundation, 'peer to peer' remember, and
that's why we like it ...

the license has its weakness, in the sense that it weakens the spread of an
open commons, but not all commons need to be fully open,

unlike the general material of the p2p foundation, which is fully based on
volunteer labor, the coop is meant to create livelyhoods, hence, in this
context, I think it can be justificed to share freely with other commoners,
but not with those that intend to exploit the commons

however small at the beginning, the peer production license could be the
start of a counter-economy that doesn't at the same time re-inforce the
dominant economy,

at the very least, it seems worth trying,

Michel
