LinuxPR: Free Company — a Free Software Company for the World

By

“We discuss the free company that will be owned and run by
all developers worldwide, democratically. All the software will be
licensed under the GPL. And the free company will pay developers to
develop free software.”

“We have the following simple structure for getting some real,
focused work done.

  1. Every Monday we propose a new issue or issues for the list to
    consider.
  2. Tuesday-Saturday we discuss the issue(s) focusing our
    collective brain power on resolving those during the week.
  3. Sunday we have quiet reflection to think about the discussions
    we had during the week (or just enjoy ourselves).”

“The issues this week are:

ISSUE: Should developers be paid to develop free software?
ISSUE: Should the free company be non-profit or for profit?
ISSUE: Should users give donations or pay for the free
software?”
