The '''bad copy problem''' is when [[Consumerium]]'s own code, data, support groups or community of trusting users enable services which compete with the [[Consumerium Services]]. It is made much worse when the entity, i.e. the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], set up to project a certain set of values, does not have the power under the [[Consumerium License]] to stop it.

Various expressions of the bad copy problem are part of several [[worst cases]].

To some degree this has already happened to [[free software]] in several ways:
#[[open source]] is to a degree a "bad copy" of the free software concept that lures in many contributors who would otherwise contribute to free software
#[[open source]] licenses themselves allow developers to extend and "protect" their extensions under [[patent]] law or independent [[copyright]]
#the extreme variety of versions of o.s. and f.s. systems like [[Linux]] makes it impossibly difficult to concentrate maintenance and usability effort, making for an OS that is hard for the ordinary user to maintain due to sheer dilution and confusion
#[[Richard Stallman]] himself has objected to Linux incorporating many GNU utilities and not calling itself "GNU Linux", but the [[GPL]] never asked for this nor applied any [[trademark]] or other instrument that would make this a condition of re-use of those utilities; Presumably, having ''one'' "GNU Linux" would make it easier to tell the best version(s) from dozens of nasty variants.

It's also happened to [[wiki code]]. There are a huge number of versions that seem to exist for no particular reason other than that someone wanted to write a wiki (see [[self-interested fork problem]]). This drastically dilutes the effort available to make any of them of any use.
