From the portal, Distributive Enterprise Wiki of Open Source Ecology, this resource illuminates the Distributive Enterprise (DE): a social enterprise that focuses on open economic development – open collaboration in innovation. It is a transparent enterprise which maintains the open replication of such an enterprise – independently by others or with incubation assistance – at the core of its operational strategy. As such, this differs from a traditional franchise by having no strings attached. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to replicate the distributive enterprise and ‘compete’ in a truly free market.
