@beejjorgensen @F100 @ajroach42 Even without government spending, there are ways to start experiment with these mechanisms now through clever licensing schemes and special organizations representing the commons as in #copyfarleft, #copyfair and harberger licenses

Should we shift away from public, free as in freedom for all, licensing systems to more restricted alternatives, like copyfair?

I've started thinking that fossoftware and the whole concept of open source is being exploited by corporations and especially monopolizing ones.

Hey #LibreSource / #OpenSource and #Leftist / #Cooperativist fediverse,

Here is a small repo (self promo) linking you both via #Copyfarleft / #Copyfair:

My hunch (but someone correct me if I'm wrong!) is that it would be near impossible to relicense a #GPL project as #CopyFair because you need all owners (ie: contributors) to agree to the change.

I think though, projects could start experimenting with applying the CopyFair principles in a social way.

For example, set up a download form that asks whether you are using the project for commercial reasons and if so, it prompts for a license payment.

I recently learned about the #CopyFair license - anyone can use the code, but if they make money from it they must contribute back in some way, eg: pay a license fee.

However, it seems like it's still in the thought experiment realm. I can't find an actual example of a license document.

There is one working experiment I found of a related license - the Peer Production License that allows only nonprofits and coops to use the work. It's being used by the Guerilla Media Collective.

@fenkt

(...dann wärs wohl nicht "Open Source", aber das ist nicht mein Punkt)

Auch nicht genau was du beschreibst, aber vielleicht geht
#Copyfarleft oder #Copyfair in die von dir gedachte Richtung ?!

@atenorio @colegota Sí a esas me refería concretamente. Pero hasta donde yo sé, las #copyfair también son víricas, pues:

"La Licencia de Producción de Pares es un modelo de licencia #copyfarleft, derivada de la licencia Creative Commons Atribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 3.0 Unported"

@colegota @tze hasta donde conozco, las licencias #copyleft son las licencias que exigen que las obras derivadas conserven las licencias, como la GPL. Son licencias libres que exigen reciprocidad, también llamadas víricas porque infectan las obras derivadas.

A lo mejor os referís a licencias como la Peer Production License https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License y similares. Ahi las llaman licencias #copyfair
