I would like to offer my own definition:

 - when do you have peer production?

if the production takes the form of free cooperation
and has a number of precise characteristics
(holoptism, anti-credentialism, etc..) with the aim to
achieve maximum participation of equipotential
producers

if the production is managed through peer governance,
not through market allocation or corporate hierarchy

if the result of the production is universally
available as use value (universal common property) and
it is here that the requirements of free software come
in

Again, maybe I'm just a newcomer to this list, but

from discussions I have

had over the past years with several people on the

list it occured to me

that none is "stuck in the logic of free as in

freedom". Aside from RMS's

conscious and understandable choice of liberal

rhetoric, FREE SOFTWARE IS

INDEED FREE BEER. And that is, partly, why free

software is subversive.

Free Software is even more "free" than free beer: It
has actually no
(exchange) value. Check

I wonder where Martin and Geert have their wisdom
from...
