My conclusion was, it should be club wares. That would be a situation we could all be happy with.

Since the "normal goods" quadrant was so good a producing things, laws were passed (starting roughly 300 years ago) to move I.P. from "public goods" to "normal goods" to get more I.P.
I have no problem with the "club goods" model, but it will slide into the "public goods" just as fast as "normal goods" will.
