There is nothing inherently corporate about the term "canon" and it's not about intellectual property rights. It's a standard that is set by the storyteller, so any and all people involved in related discussions have a benchmark.

With C0DA, you are free to remove this benchmark and set your own - just don't expect everyone involved to follow the same path. There are countless people out there who want their story driven by a certain storyteller and nothing else - and there is nothing wrong with that.
