Thanks, Pip -- for the good words, and the shout out for this discussion. Ought to be fascinating!
Open Sourcing through the mechanism of online communities is not a viable strategy for anything outside of software. Even with the best license and a well-designed strategy, trying to apply the same community model to areas outside of software development is a lost cause.
