Value Equations are one of the key concepts that (as far as I know)
originated in Sensorica. They are democratic agreements on how to
distribute income from collaborative work. I think they are a key
element of governance. Not sure if they belong in a license, but they
were mentioned in Michel's accounting page cited below, and are
related to .

They have been implemented in software, in a working prototype stage.
You can read about the software here:

And some of the background here (the links in the slides do not work
in speakerdeck, unfortunately):

Note that the software does not yet implement all of the ideas in the
background discussions.

Enspiral does things quite differently, as do other groups. Lots of
conversations are going on about these topics now, for example:
