You have a non-exclusive license to use it. (It is basically a MIT license work.)

¶ /shares: potential/
* Project success-based additional compensation:
* If the project is successful (-let's hope so!!-), and the work I do is elemental in the shaping of the product, some small type of share compensation is expected. For 2 months in the prototype phase, this might be around 2% of the pool, but I don't have a good calculation. (This might probably be resolved as a part of the "cooperative" model, maybe with "work time shares". We can further talk about this later.)
* If project offers services in future, upon its success a ___ difference can be redeemed in services.

¶ * time and efficiency:
* how to capture focus to prevent conflict over "efficiency" especially in self-guided work?:
via KPI?
* how to capture off-times?:
can QSlinux help?
* which stuff counts:
* gettng stuff to eat + cooking + eating? [prob 30min in full time? or make proportional to full-day ... 1h/16 hours?]
* waiting for? [esp when agreed to meet for example]
* socializing/talking to random people about what they do?
