After going to the Isummit in Dubrovnik I have a very different take on the the hafhp project. The values of the project seem a little more established in my mind and I can see clearly how the hafhp license can work. I see the hafhp project as a bridge for the free culture movement to the commercial world and also a bridge for commercial world to the free culture movement. The way forward for the artist seems to be to have a balance. Creative commons partly removes the need for the artist to have to deal with the business side of creation. HAFHP potentially creates the opportunity for art to be used in the commercial world with little effort on the side of the artist.
I have also uploaded this node to the open business forum.
