This is a side task for reporting the different aspects of community based game development.

It is likely that all commercial productions must have a legal owner. In Finland a limited company (Oy) or osakunta ("nation") are likely choices.

In theory it should be possible to arrange the model so that after a commercial launch is made or there is substantial revenue to be had, the community can arrange itself into a company or osakunta and the original owner of the concept and IP will sell or transfer the rights to the new legal entity.

Similar model is used by the finnish media and games fund "Mediatonic". Mediatonic makes an investment into a production together with other financiers and all IP is transferred to a new company.

One interesting model is the Kajak Game Studio model in Kajaani polytechnic, where students are also workers of the osakunta.
