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: http://www.mindfully.org/Sustainability/Hannover-Principles.htm Interesting is also the direct relationship between sustainability and open knowledge exchange that you see in Principle 9.
