Critique

• This has great potential, however, the concept would benefit from using open source, OSHWA and OSI compliant licenses. Open source licenses were created to address the attribution issue: voluntary attribution, without contribution-accounting overhead.
• Value acconting must be evaluated for each project. This imposes significant overhead to any project, and consitutes to Collaborative Waste. This is a problem resolved by choosing open source licenses.
• Value accounting is a fundamental problem that is addressed via exchange relationships: ie, value is negotiated prior to any exchange. Value cannot be determined a priori. Thus, emphasis on an a-priori value accounting system is a fundamnetal impossibility, and fair exchange of value is not possible.
• System is based on innovation of corporate form. That is good. But OVN is not the only way to a non-hierarchical system. Free enterprise (free as in freedom, ethical, and inclusive of humans and nature)
• OVN is fundamentally exclusive. Without open licensing, it creates 'outsiders' - those who do not join the network. This form of coercion is avoided in permissive open source licenses such as MIT License or CC-BY, and is partly avoided in non-permissive open source licenses such as GPL or CC-BY-SA.
• OVN accounting system - what is the formula? Can it be gamed? How much effort does it take? How is it adapted to each new project?
• Platform for production/distribution - this should follow the creation of the OVN, not precede it. It needs to be built out based on reality, not theory.
• OVN is still a proprietary consortium, as its IP is not open source.
• "You own the value generated by your efforts" - how do you define 'your efforts'? I don't think it's fair to say you own the value, becuase you have 'vendor lock-in' to operating within the network only. You cannot leave. If you leave, you are no longer allowed to use the IP. Is that so?
