Maybe coops would fit better?

• cardamomo 7y ago
  IMHO, coops are an underused model for organizing a business or organization across many fields.

    I'm not aware of FLOSS producing worker-coops that live off the additional services provided.
    • cardamomo 7y ago
      I'm not sure that's an argument specific to worker-coops, given there are very few FLOSS-producing enterprises of any type that are the sole means of financial support for their members.

  like SWIFT, literally a cooperative of banks?
  • unixhero 7y ago
    No, like a cooperative organisation of companies.

    Could be, but I was considering worker-coops. But if we look at some open source foundations, they are pretty much that (but usually in a non-profit form, why would that be? /s).
