Noinet. P2P Theory. I will respond to the critique later on. Here are the arguments from Stefan Meretz: “Michel Bauwens has made a proposal for a “median choice of socialist licenses” which is based on the Copyfarleft-License of Dymtri Kleiner. In this post I try to critically analyze his proposal. At the beginning Bauwens’ thesis is: “the more communistic the sharing license we use, the more capitalistic the practice”. Being a prominent example the GNU GPL is called a “communist license”.
At first one has to understand the nature licenses have under the given conditions. Herein is nothing communist. The second part of the thesis “…the more capitalistic the practice” fails as well. From my perspective the presentation of the GPL as “communist” is wrong, but this attribution has the function to propagate a milder license variant which then is called “socialist”: the PPL (Peer-Production-License). Is only exchange reciprocal? In order to justify the PPL the argument of reciprocity is claimed.
UnCloud — It's not that kind. Control your own cloud. The proliferation of social networking and current developments in service-based platforms (what has become known as 'cloud computing') provide explicit examples of the privatization and commodification of social production. What becomes clear is that our experience of the web is bound to inherent paradoxes that are reflected in its technical organization. One of the foundations for its critique relies on the recognition of the ways in which the energies of peer production and social exchange have been expropriated from the commons by the market. unCloud is an application that enables anyone with a laptop to create an open wireless network and distribute their own information.
Once it is launched, a passerby using a mobile internet device can connect to this open wireless network. The person running the application can decide what information is shown in any web address.
