Creativity involves copying, transforming, and combining; and people inspire one another and collaborate all the time. But Free/Libre/Open (FLO) methods take things to another level. FLO is prominent in software development and at Wikipedia, but it can apply to so much more.
The FLO Conscious Living (CL) project collects and organizes mental models and practices for living in more healthy, intentional, and ethical ways. It is also an example of using FLO methods in a different context from software. Of course, because the CL ideas themselves apply to everything in life, they can inform software development work too.
