> as soon as a "solo" OSS project is depended upon by at least another project, that's a commons

I would say its commons when its licensed GPLv3 for example.

The extent to which it is an asset to the commons is another story and I think this is part of what Jennifer was alluding to wrt management and governance.

Thanks Jennifer for writing that. Hopefully this message reaches you all well as I've not been online for a while and forgot the tricks to use gnusocial. Agree with what you wrote, just throwing money at a problem like this is a short term fix and in the long-term is likely very detrimental.

I have more to write about this but too busy right now, I'll try to check back later.
