Exactly. There is nothing 'customary' about massively collaborative
development of works. We can lead the way here by opening the work as
much as possible (or should I say, reasonable) for others to reuse
rather than locking it up with arduous yet largely useless
requirements (and in doing so creating an opportunity for someone else
to build 'The Free[er] Encyclopedia').
