Markus:
have you seen how the user community (see comments) actually supports such financing? (this is conssistent with the non-reciprocity inherent in peer production)
Linking income to effort changes peer production into a hybrid format based on forms of reciprocity, which is not a bad thing.
Your link to the vodes.net document is very interesting, and actually, I'm only now starting to understand how the thing is working, for some reason, I just couldn't get it before. I'd like to quote from it in P2P News, is it possible to have a Word version of it?
Any more literature on the role of foundations would be very welcome?
