Mailtda's non-commercial use clause, was: Re: [matilda] crisis of consensus

[Chris Malins]

As I recall, from the discussions we were having some time ago about 
what the basic decision making principles of Matilda should be, one of 
the few things that we did seem to have relative consensus on was that 
events should be agreed through consensus, rather than blocked by 
consensus (in particular, if the default position were to be permissive, 
  whoever it was who proposed the event would be able to force it 
through by vetoing any attempt to stop it).

I'm not convinced that a non-commercial clause is appropriate in the 
context of using Matilda as an art space, it rather begs the question of 
how and whether we expect our artists to actually make any money. Also, 
given that the LTT is a commercially driven type, a non-commercial 
clause would sound slightly hypocritical.

PS. If the collective does adopt a default go-ahead position, I'd like 
to book the first all England kitten Rugby championchips for the week 
after next.
