Not sure. It was an idea, not a literal translation of licensing models. My suggestion is that we might look there for cues, not directly port anything that necessarily exists. Learn from what has worked well, and what hasn't. Someone already pointed out that I might have chosen the wrong CC license on the coworking.com homepage, but didn't suggest or explain an alternative so I haven't changed it yet. The idea isn't fully baked, just a new ingredient I wanted to mix in. /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 1:35 AM, Mike Schinkel <[email protected]>wrote: > On Mar 1, 2010, at 1:24 AM, Alex Hillman wrote: > > I'd like to offer the idea that's more lightweight than the organizations > that have been proposed.
