I would put the debate in the following way.

Stefan insists on the non-reciprocal basis of peer production /DFS, and I
believe it is correct, and that it only works in the context of an
abundance of resources, hence it <cannot> function as a principle for the
non-abundant sphere, i.e. the material sphere of exchange.

Franz insists on the reciprocity model that would provide an alternative
to the current form of exchange, and his vision would be a betterment of
the existing societal model.

They are not in contradiction, but complementary in a diffirentiated and
integrated complex society.

Hybrid forms between the two are possible. Peer production in the
immaterial sphere, while producer cooperatives, drawn from the same
community, find arrangements for the material production.

Sorry for the late answer. 

I partially agree with this view but have to add one essential thing: I
tried to add a third layer by describing Global Villages as conceptualised
around a free but organized material resource "flow" like in a biotope. 

***That means producers and participants of a humane ecosystem are
planning the flow and transformation of material resources.***

 It does not necessarily mean direct reciprocity, this is rather primitive
and unusual from the point of view of a system and you do not see too much
reciprocity in ecosystems. Rather it is a challenge of design of
interrelatedness of human activities so their material component mediates
mutual reenforcement.

*** It is neither exchange nor automatic unlimited availability; it is
systemic symbiosis ***

There are important preconditions for that. The system is based on the
McDonough-Braungart formula of "There is no waste in clever production". I
wrote about that but there is more here:

Interesting is also the direct relationship between sustainability and
open knowledge exchange that you see in Principle 9.
