This project should be a free, open source, public utility. The the model should be open architecture, open-source, freeware. GitHub or MediaWiki, not ISDA. No-one should extract [[rent]] from boilerplate. | |||
The information revolution has enabled our “drift to complicatedness” — with that a view has emerged that the resulting “legal technology” is somehow has intrinsic value, is proprietary and should be commercially protected. It is better to see good market-standard contractual terms as a common interface between market participants: a public utility that enables business to get done with minimal friction. No-one should try to own it or extract rent from it. Contract ''technology'' should not ''proprietary''; rather contracts — agreements ''made out of'' contract technology — may be ''confidential''. To confuse a contractual ''confidence'' with a proprietary right in [[intellectual property]] comprising the contract is to make a category error. | |||
