"Last, this license requires the democratic exercise of the freedoms it
grants. It allows every person contributing to a creative or economic
project based on the creation to participate in decisions concerning this
project."
So IIUC you can't actually do what you want with the work - you have to go
with a decision made jointly with other contributors? Meaning it's not
really a *free* license... unless there is a right to fork, in which case
it's just a "kind of free" license with an pre-determined approach to
project management.
Does it offer any greater protection for designs of physical objects? I
couldn't see anything about this, so I'm not sure what advantage it offers
over a Creative Commons license or other open license.
Cheers,
Chris
