We *are* planning later to offer to projects that are proprietary that they can work with us to get FLO and will be allowed as soon as they are FLO. We are *absolutely* about freeing things that aren't free, but abstractly: as in "free the technology, free the music, free the science, free the journalism" and we're doing that by helping projects that are already free, hoping to move more of our resources away from the non-free things, and entice more projects to be free. We're are *not* saying "oh, incidentally, if you make something FLO, we'd like to help fund you." We are being bold and saying "you *should* make things FLO, and the reason we want to fund FLO things is so that we have FLO phones and FLO culture etc, and you *should* free your project, and we'll actively advocate for that and help you and provide a way to support your project once freed." > > One can also interpret the slogan in different ways like: > > "Help us to free the commons." > "We are the help that frees the commons." > Both of those interpretations are fine. But I think we also are missing some thread given delays in this email list. I proposed just "free the commons" without the "help" see my other reply. > > > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > Discuss@lists.snowdrift.coop > https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/discuss > -- Aaron Wolf Snowdrift.coop <https://snowdrift.coop> _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.snowdrift.coop https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/discuss
