In March this year I gave a talk at #Monkigras about how Free Software didn't understand it had invented a labour organising movement, and the the predictable consequences of that realisation. It wasn't recorded.
Here's a repeat I gave at #PyConAU this week. ENJOY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsbUzGailCw
@chrisjrn It was a good talk! I'm glad it's now recorded somewhere.
@cloudthethings me too! I've been wanting to share this one for MONTHS. What's better is that I don't think I disagree with my conclusions, even 6 months later!
@chrisjrn I still need to watch it in detail but the main idea looks very interesting. This has to be talked about more. Thanks for sharing it.

I wish this covered what is happening with copyleft in crypto/blockchain right now. BTC/ETH/etc are mostly FOSS ecosystems.
Crypto business models work really well with copyleft, and I think we are at the dawn of a new FOSS golden age right now, people just can't see it because they have written off the blockchain space as not worthy of serious attention.
I'm developing a copyleft font editor that has a token and ETH treasury as an experiment with these business models.
