	Example of latter: a project publishes resulting plans under an open license, but the development process is carried on by one or few people with no external input. This situation is very common. Such a project is not collaborative during the design phase, but may become more collaborative once the plans are published. From the standpoint of leveraging potential crowd contribution, this method has limited results - and is pointed out to address for more effective collaboration. Typical reason for not engaging in collaboration in the early phase may be [[Collaborative Waste]] - ie, it takes effort to keep 'paperwork'. It may also be psychological - a person may not be comfortable with being vulnerable to critique, or the person may be fearful. This gets into psychological issues of a [[Scarcity Mindset]] vs [[Abundance Mindset]].

	''Collaborative'' means done in a way that allows any other qualified ~~developer~~ to contribute to ~~a project~~, with minimal friction in the process.		''Collaborative'' means done in a way that allows any other qualified person to contribute to an effort, with minimal friction in the process.

			Truly collabortive efforts allow for participation of the whole world. They do not exclude - ie, they do not set up a boundary between what lies 'within a company' and 'outside the company.' In a truly collaborative effort, everyone is a potential contributor. Ie, we do not consider a proprietary company that collaborates in-house to be a collaborative company. It's a proprietary company.

			There is a teleological distinction between truly collaborative efforts which do not share but are not opposed to sharing, and ones which are proprietary and spend resources on actual exclusion (patents, trade secrets, etc). The truly collaborative effort spends zero energy on exlusion - but it may not have resources to publish openly - which takes effort. However, it is in practice useful to notice when someone does not share but is eager to share - which would potentially allow for productive collaboration.

	Many technologies for collaboration (such as Google Slides) are not developed collaboratively, and are not open source. They may be free, but they are missing the [[4 Freedoms of Open Source]].

	In summary - open source AND collaborative are not the same thing. OSE emphasizes open source AND collaborive as a prerequisite to solving [[Pressing World Issues]] - and thus requires both aspects to be present in order for fruitful collaboration to exist.
