Wouldn't this be pretty much like MediaWiki, prior to it having paid employees, or other non-profit foundations?
I'm actually not clear why this is a company instead of a non-profit foundation. It says:
"An open company differs from a non-profit organization in that an open company does not itself accept donations, and it does not compensate its employees. From the open company’s point of view, whether and how its employees receive money and for what, is undefined."
A non-profit can also not accept donations and not compensate employees, so the only thing that differs might be how employees receive money, which I don't really understand here.
