Well, it borders on a "Puff Piece" - a thinly veiled advertisement to
promote the organization the guy is involved with. As such, it doesn't
really have the credibility of a truly scientific research paper, but that
doesn't mean it doesn't have some valid observations.
As for a "consortium type organization" - I don't really have a problem with
that. It is an idea that has some merit. Programmers develop things that are
made widely available under some kind of easy terms and then share in the
rewards if/when any arise. Its a sort of "partnership" or "shared ownership
interest" that could stimulate development activity. It can be a good thing
to offer someone some financial reward for putting in the sweat equity to
develop a product.
