I don't understand the reason for this article and book:

The idea is hardly new; it's been very well-known, widely used, and widely studied for decades, and not just in IT. For example, in the corporate world Hasbro created an FOSS license for significant aspects of the game Dungeons & Dragons back in the 2000s. And the public obviously embraced FOSS and crowd-sourcing over and over - wikis on every game and hobby, fan fiction, Minecraft, etc. What is new in this book? What is the impetus? What audience needs to be told about Wikipedia?

Also, why change the terminology from free/libre open source, crowd-sourcing, etc.?
