stand unconquered for a while.  Not because those people are
morally better than or in any way stronger than others, but
because they wisely choose a context for living and working
that lets them grow rather than corrupting them.

The "structure" is nothing more or less than the BSD license that's the only license that has no strings attached (without DRM) and a community with enough people that understand it's civil and polite.
