(BTW, people usually call me Michael rather than Mike - not a big deal though). Based on my revised understanding now, I have a few thoughts: - I now agree that the two roads illustration is a promising approach. I'd include a surveillance camera on the toll one in addition to a toll booth and ads, since surveillance is a concern with real life toll roads and also with non-FLO digital works. - I'd stop using the phrase "Let's clear the path to a better world" because it confuses things. Based on your explanation, the clear public road itself represents the better world here, not a path to a better world. - The current tagline "Free the Commons" and the invitation on the home page "Join us in setting the world free!" do not seem to me to convey the meaning you explained as effectively as I hope is possible. The issue is that the commons is under-resourced, not that it's not free, correct?
