You're absolutely right - the world is full of cooperatives! REI, every credit union, Vanguard, and State Farm all spring to mind. With that said, might some consider it noteworthy that these are primarily customer-owned cooperatives rather than worker-owned ones? That seems like it might not be completely inconsequential, but perhaps I am being excessively picky. Please accept my apologies for being less than entirely clear. It is my opinion that FOSS projects are unlikely to be considered good examples of worker-owned cooperatives that are also successful businesses. As you say, this offers no comment in any way on the viability or suitability of the model. A quick search suggests that the worker-owned cooperative model is being tried! https://www.techworker.coop/ https://www.techworker.coop/
