hi Marco,

my own understanding of Commons-Based Reciprocity Licenses differs in
many aspects from the PPL

For example, I want the commons to work with all forms of not-for-profit
oriented busiensses

but to call worker-owned businesses as engaging in unlimited exploitation
is perinicious

such a business works for the workers, and why should it not be able to use
commons code ???
