The Enclosure Movement in Software

As the core of software in NU gets bigger and deeper it becomes more and more irresistible to use. If enough people contribute to it what we will end up with is an open, inspectable, improvable base of code that gives us a tool set for weaving together the culture we want to be part of. The real problem most individual creators and writers have isn't that they're getting ripped off their problem is that they are unknown. That getting known is more important than getting a royalty check.
