Why our economy fails public goods like free software
This talk is titled "Why our economy fails public goods like free software," and was presented at LibrePlanet 2022 by Aaron Wolf.
Aaron is co-founder of Snowdrift.coop and a long-time free software and free culture activist. In his day job as an independent music teacher, he pushes his students to use free/libre tools and release their music under free licenses.
This talk is a discussion of the economic distinctions between private goods, club goods, commons, and public goods; and why software freedom struggles to get economically supported.
