That's a valid concern, appreciate the input winddrake.
Good analogy, it kind of IS a fishing licence... and if there were no licenses then the rivers would have barely any fish left. And that's kind of where we are at.
So maybe the fishing license is too expensive - that's negotiable :)

But I'll push back, that if it's the DAO that is determining the "fishing licensing terms" then it's not centralized, it's decentralized
