If you go for open innovation and open hardware why don't you go all the
p2p way?

See the "open value network" model.
http://valuenetwork.referata.com/wiki/Main_Page

See www.sensorica.co as an example

Here are our reflections on legal issues and legal forms.
http://valuenetwork.referata.com/wiki/Legal_structure

We can talk about how SENSORICA get's around legal obstacles, being able to
manage assets/commons, being able to manufacture and distribute products,
while remaining an informal network.

To add some credibility to our approach, please watch these videos.
http://www.sensorica.co/home/working-space/recent-announcements/sesoricaascasestudyatigchec2013

Business professors are studying the model from different perspectives,
including legal and fiscal issues.

If you're open, be open all the way... don't go with half measures :)

See also the latest presentation of Michel Bauwens.

There are 4 videos in all, if you have time watch them all to understand
the core issues.

A lot of material... but it is worth every second of it. *Don't miss the
boat! *
