A helpful distinction here between giving and sharing. Unpaid labour is one of the most difficult parts of the open practice discussion to undertake and here I feel that you have helped to begin that conversation with our community. There is a form of unspoken expectation that sometimes comes with gift giving, the one who receives a gift may feel obliged to reciprocate or feel guilty for failing to do so. Perhaps there is a way to give that makes explicit that there are no expectations attached? I would like to unpack this further.
