PermaLibre

Here’s the first draft of PermaLibre idea (to edit, download the VUE file and VUE concept map editor):

Growing the Commons: When someone is commissioned by their community to create something, and the creator is paid, and the creation is released, we can get smarter together much faster. Why? The creator knows that they’ll be paid, so that’s calmer, and the community gets a creation that respects their freedom to use it and build new creations with it.
