"Generative Commons Agreement"

The Ethical Source Principles

IP Stewardship Trust

should the commons be public domain? or copyrighted with a permissive license?

example: Vincent + Airtable + Massive + the Commons + making a living. our conversations operate under the Public Commons Conversations Agreement. and create that.

Generative Commons Agreement

Issues We're Monitoring

enclosure of open source software by Microsoft
likelihood of attach by capitalists and IP trolls
possibility of eventual acquisition by capitalists
how to making a living while nurturing Commons
- doing well by doing good
the world is in transition from enclosure to commons
need for defensive patenting
time-stamped disclosure
- is disclosure enough?

Intentions

establishing a trust in the non-profit helps protect IP
build on Creative Commons

MOUs + Sovereigns

The New MOU has the important legal stuff, and you may be able to just start with that for your sovereign.

For Lionsberg agreements, the sovereigns really only need MOU + Appendices A & B. Appendix C is an OGM extra, since we have materials written for it; it's sort of an overflow for that. But it's not required for the agreement.
