Hi again! 2 days ago Stefan Merten wrote:
Last week (9 days ago) Stefan Seefeld wrote:The point I was opposing was a highly simplistic representation of Free Software as something that is done by people that are privileged enough to a) have the required education to work on Free Software and b) have the resources to do so, too (free time, most of all).If that is really your question you already gave the answer I'd actually give: People have to have some preconditions to create Free Software. But that is true for *every* human activity - be it baking it a cake, building a car, praying to some god or shooting a person - where the concrete preconditions are mostly determined by the activiy. I really don't think Free Software or other sorts of peer production is in any way special in this regard.
This didn't left my head yet ;-) . If you mix this observation with Michel's "peer production as a life practice" then it becomes even clearer. Indeed you could argue that this type of economy we can see in peer production is embedded in the normal life of people. This is very different from capitalist economy which is disembedded from society and builds an own sphere. And BTW: You, StefanS, emphasize that people "need to reproduce". Certainly. But to *reproduce* in the sense they need to eat humans need for everything - including standing in the corner and writing Free Software.
