Platform cooperativism as a critique of open-source

Platform cooperativism as a critique of open-source | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

I am a pretty assiduous digital commoner, for what it’s worth. I almost exclusively use free/libre/open-source software (hereafter FLOSS), evangelistically so. I try to practice open journalism. I’ve run and developed business models for organizations devoted to producing Creative Commons content. I believe that property is theft, ultimately, and I hold the ancient doctrine of the universal destination of goods. But I also consider my support of the platform cooperative movement to be, in part, a critique of the digital commons movement so far.

Peer Production Licence - to achieve the tranistion to the FLOSS societies!

Peer Production Licence - to achieve the tranistion to the FLOSS societies! | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
