James, XDI(*) a non for profit, has set up a fund to pay to free software iname developers and to pay for other future social tasks.<br><br>A percentage of the iname sales go to that fund.<br><br>Please also note that a fully decentralized system do not resolve the bottom line of this exchanges:
<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">Freedom & Privacy<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
</span></span></span></span>To get a better level of freedom and privacy, you need to mix technology(**) and law(***). Also culture..., but the culture is developed together with technology and law.<br><br>Traveling on this path, the XDI Board is developing policies, not just for content (claims/data/attributes), but also for presence (context/availability) and projection (identity right agreements/data rejection/publicity(****)).
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span><br></span>
<br>For this process to have better chances of success, it is very important the input of people like you and others<br>who care about this subject and can make strong critic. Anyone interested please feel free to contact me.
<br><br>(*) I serve at the XDI Board. <a href="http://www.xdi.org/modules/pages/index.php?id=4">http://www.xdi.org/modules/pages/index.php?id=4</a><br>Cordance is a for profit. <br><br>(**) Whatever set of protocols or protocol get standardized in the future. My guess is that it will be mainly two. One centralized and one decentralized.
<br><br>(***) Local, regional, national and international laws not just on privacy, but also more specific about virtual personality, including presence, content and projection(****). This may include recognizing virtual personality as a new human right(*****).
