Note however that there will be a small rezzing tax for all items which will automatically be deducted from your account that will be used to finance various "Governance" activities. :) It’s not “Opensim Governance”, it’s “Universal Governance”, and it will accommodate other models of exchange besides Creative Commons.

The users and content creators of Second Life were granted equity in the company..." Thanks for the post, Dusan. Would you mind elaborating, quoting a source, or clarifying this statement a little further? If possible, thanks ;) “…they put their money where their mouth is with today’s resident buyout of Second Life. The users and content creators of Second Life were granted equity in the company…”

OpenSim naturally distributes the virtual environment to the many rather than place it in the hands of the few. An "OpenSim Governance Team" sounds as unlikely as a "Web Governance Team".

See, I was trying to attempt self-parody in the first paragraph or so in order to alert you (in addition to the parody of trite year in review articles) but if you took that as, well, the real thing and actually believe I'm planning to reference Russian novelists in my "year Ahead" column then I have some reading to do.
