what if: a software coop, but:

• we have a strong code of ethics (ethical source, no ai, etc)
• open bookkeeping like opencollective
• we solicit sponsorship to pay for our work
• becoming a sponsor grants rights to vote on project ideas, with capacity that reflects coop's engineers' capabilities
• this eventually grows to engineering teams that could handle either/both wider varieties of projects and more parallel work

what does fedi think?

specifically i'm trying to solicit advice on maximising my chances of success in starting this and also perhaps others who would be interested in participating

examples of software coops that i can model would also be great!
