This human-readable summary of the Peer Production License is handy.
"The peer production license is an example of the Copyfair type of license, in which only other commoners, cooperatives and nonprofits can share and re-use the material, but not commercial entities intent on making profit through the commons without explicit reciprocity"

@Steve@social.coop@neil Am I missing something? What does the PPL offer that CC-BY-SA doesn't?
I definitely don't fully understand the nuances, but as far AFAICT, the purpose is to adapt the NC part of CC to freely allow commons-based commercial use, but not corporate commercial use unless you remunerate the original provisioner. SA allows anyone to profit as long as they share.
Plenty discussion and critique here - http://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Copyfarleft
> Peer Production is for software.
In fact, I believe it is the opposite - it's intended for content like CC is.
@neil @msavoritias The issue I have is that this assumes that co-ops always contribute to the commons, and other business models never do. This is an overgeneralization.
