Sounds great Harrison! But does this mean that, lets say Coca-Cola, could establish a brand "Open Space" and prohibit for example the run of the site "openspaceworld" because it is an forbidden abuse of the brand?
Just to think it through.

To restrict its use in any fashion (for profit, for fun, for professional advancement, for perversity) would be the ultimate abuse. And the corollary of all of this is that the knowledge gained in the practice of Open Space is equally free, and therefore to be freely shared.
