My point is that there is socioeconomic theories which were based on the goal of common ownership of all means of production (which in a digital society would often translate to code). I guess all movements that have tried to transition to such societies have failed (thus my comment: they are alternatives, the trick is to make them working). While public domain is (except maybe for government agency) is a model you chose, this is completely different. If we are talking about alternatives to ownership we cannot do this without thinking in political dimensions.
