[License-discuss] [License-review] Coherent Open Source - Getting underway next Friday

[Gil Yehuda]

Thorsten,

Not crowdfunding, crowdsourcing. Meaning the ability to create value by
leveraging a networked production model. c.f. Yochai Benkler's "Wealth of
Networks" that describes how economic value is created via network effect,
and how both the open source ecosystem and other social-value systems
emerged once the limitation (high transaction costs, copyright
restrictions, lack of trust mechanisms) were abated by the internet,  open
licensing models, and reputation mechanisms.

I wish there were fewer licenses too. My point is to highlight that you can
see these different motivators play out as new licenses are proposed.
Looking from afar, they blur into one. Looking close, we are sensitive to
their unique message. Perhaps no one captured this better than the vey
quirky Emo Philips in his comedic commentary on religious identity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D88DQIJmxRI (tl;dw: Die Heretic Die). I
think this could be presented to introduce any discussion about open source
licenses.
