I've struggled to find good ways to talk about the different levels at which people and groups of people participate in furthering software freedom.
I've found it especially difficult to do this for participation that seems so typical for a particular kind of group, the corporation.
Corporate particpation seems to be marked by halting, incomplete, inconstant, and often contradictory approaches to adopting the practices that create and and maintain the shared benefits of software freedom.
About half-way (25:07) through his 2018 closing keynote, Benjamin "Mako" Hill uses a term--strategic openness--which I think succinctly captures the way corporations often give software freedom an awkward, half-hearted (and possibly unsolicited and unwanted) sort of embrace, to try to benefit from the association without commitment and without risking very much.
