in response to another letter:
I think ows produces a political commons and does that pretty much in a
standard peer production way,
they have a commons, zuccoti park,
they
have the general assembly and different substructures, but which do not
command and control the movement,
for example, the finance working group, which looks for money,
they
have sophisticated provisioning systems
the last three are
equivalent to the for-benefit associations in open source,
finally,
they have an enterpreneurial coalition, such as the ows street vendor
association,
I have documented this through http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:OccupyWallStreet,
in detail,
so,
ows produces 'politics', and it has
governance,
it has no clear property, but the commons aspect, i.e. it can be
used and remixed, would cover that
this is quite illuminating, http://p2pfoundation.net/Occupy_Wall_Street_API
