I was interested  to see a reference to the p2pfoundation in the following article from Hazel Henderson in the last few paragraphs!

Competition and secrecy gave way to more cooperation and information-sharing as in the open source movement covered daily by the P2P Foundation.  Many companies focused on pure information and thrived.  Some companies in Silicon Valley, like MySpace, launched on pure information.  But when they tried to use advertising to make money, their membership simply began to walk away because that was a year 2000 model that simply doesn’t fly now.  The new scorecards which included cooperation, sharing, spiritual return, ecological return and social return, were taking off and changing business models.  Based on the new understanding of Charles Darwin’s great work, illuminated by David Loye’s Darwin’s Lost Theory of Love (2000) and The Darwin Project, cooperation, bonding and sharing were recognized as the human propensities which contributed most to our species’ evolutionary success, along with our competition and creativity (“21s Century
 Strategies for Sustainability,” Foresight, 2006).
