The Maker Movement, Fab Labs, Digital Fabrication and Open Hardware are now reaching out to society at large: extensive media coverage, many books are out, policymakers are funding makerspaces hoping they will spur a new wave of economic prosperity, and corporations are jumping on the train.

This momentum is now putting its duality under the spotlight: on one side, making and hacking seen as a driver for individual emancipation; one the other one, as a driver for commercial innovation. This "grassroots vs business" tension can be felt in cultural and practical differences between freedom-focused hackerspaces, and innovation-focused digital fabrication spaces ; or in the open source vs closed source paradigms.

How do we observe this duality, and we overcome it? How can we connect those two communities, and actually are they really two different communities?
