[p2p-research] abundance economics book

[Ryan Lanham]

Hi Michel,

Perhaps the benefit of the doubt is warranted.  He can quite easily donate
his earnings to a commons if that is the case and make a note of that at the
book's web page.  Or, he can make the book public domain when his costs are
paid.

It simply strikes me as typical of the academy.  All talk, no walk.
