General Public Law

A proposed version of the General Public License that would apply its principles to the User Ownership of Physical Sources.

Description

By Patrick Anderson:

The GNU General Public Law as published by the Personal Sovereignty Foundation is a generalization of the religious goals of the FSF's GNU General Public License into the realm of the physical, tangible, material world.

The proposed GPLv4 End User Object Instance DEED entails:

{ As object owner you may:

 0. USE it for any purpose.
 1. MODIFY it to suit your needs.
 2. COPY it through access to it's physical and virtual sources.
 3. SHARE or trade it, or a COPY - whether MODIFIED or not.

If you SHARE or trade it, or a COPY - whether MODIFIED or not, you must:

 A. Attach this DEED to each instance.
 B. Invest all profit* for that user in Physical Sources.
 C. Issue GNUrho currency against those investments.

• Profit is separated from wages as workers are hired by owners.
