worrying about licensing is skating to where the puck used to be. if you want to figure out a viable future for the open source movement, step 1 is probably figuring out a way to create co-op funded & owned versions of infrastructure gig economy applications where the equity split is like 45/45/10 on delivery apps (45% to restaurants, 45% to drivers, 10% to tech people) and 90/10 on dispatch apps (90% to workers, 10% to tech people)
@glyph 💯 I think that's a good way of framing the problem.
https://growingcommons.substack.com/p/tools-for-flourishing-commons (apologies for the Substack link, I did express my disappointment to those who set it up) has an interesting overview of some of the tools/approaches we might use beyond writing software
And it's not a platform co-op, but https://coopcycle.org/ is a growing federation of bike delivery co-ops taking on the delivery apps
