Proof signals
Nouns Project's success with CC0 and Bud Light partnership.
Mickey Mouse is actually coming up into public domain apparently I think in 18 months or so...it's interesting to see whether that world will prevail or whether this new world that's being created by things like nouns will be the one that prevails.
memes control the universe he who controls the memes controls the world.
more open leads to more memes which will continue to drive growth of the ecosystem.
built-in public movement in the founder community.
