Description

"This paper probes a “culture war” underway among software peer-production communities through a review of relevant blog posts,legal documents, forum discussions, and other sources. Softwarelicensing has been a defining strategy for these communities, andmuch of the conflict at hand revolves around whether licensingshould better account for ethics and economics, respectively.Feminist analysis can aid in tracing the contours of discontentthrough its emphasis on often-overlooked social processes thatenable and infuse productive activity. The emerging critiques,and the experiments they have inspired, gesture toward fullerunderstandings of what “free” and “open” might mean. In theprocess, peer producers have begun to take seriously certain socialand economic questions that they tended to neglect in the past."
