Simple steps can get this movement underway: Form an initial organization to sort out the technical issues, suggest working arrangements, study the economics, hack out a legal framework, seed and coordinate the requests, and canvas for initial technology contributions (including the large body of currently available freeware), do some evangelical work. Urge large companies and organizations to budget a small fraction of their annual software outlays for proposals. Set up a review group for intellectual property issues, challenge dubious claims, and investigate the feasibility of buying and releasing rights to valid claims. Encourage the development of more local organizations &mdash; local to place, to industry, to niche, to taste &mdash; with the initial group breaking up or fading away: common methods and procedures, but no centralized control.
