Its not about 'free will' between two collaborating partners here ('freiwillig') - most collaborations usually are (at least in theory).

And it means open financially, to those who aren’t rich. Only when any educated citizen with something to offer can join in, without support, in their spare time, does truly massive collaboration take off.
