Abstract
PROULX, Serge and COUTURE, Stéphane. Co-operative practices and the ethics of sharing at the crossroads of two social worlds: advocates of free software and community groups in Quebec . Anál. Social [online]. 2006, n.181, pp.1057-1074. ISSN 0003-2573.
The authors suggest elements for a definition of the culture of free software. They go on to look at the points where two social worlds intersect: the world of advocates of free software and activists in the co-operative movement in Quebec. They analyse points of divergence and convergence between the formers innovative practices in the technological field and the latters innovative practices in the social field. They put forward the hypothesis that these cross-fertilizations of practices produce new models of social and technological innovation which come close to what some social scientists call ascendant innovation processes.
