Great post! The FSL is interesting because it correctly assumes the existence of parasites, ie 'harmful free-riders'. There are ofc too many projects doing what is in effect free R&D for larger entities... these free riders having zero interest in the health or longevity of open technical ecosystems, so game theory is the right lens, I think. I'd be very interested to learn of any other proposed structures along the lines of the FSL: particularly if anyone here has opinions on/ direct experience with them! --- Earlier incarnation/s of this approach are mentioned on the FSL page.
