Sorry I meant the merchandising & performance (Loca) and Street
Performer Protocol (Elephants Dream) routes. These are all used in
proprietary culture as well, SPP is used by bands and by Russian
novelists.

It's possible to shop an idea around for patronage. Damien Hirst
started this way, and SPP is a kind of distributed patronage.

You can use a BY-SA photo in a proprietary essay (IIRC).
You can use a BY-SA essay in a proprietary journal.
You can use a BY-SA song in a proprietary album.
You can use a BY-SA show in a proprietary TV channel.
This is all due to mere aggregation, but it surprises people.
