TIL about CoopCycle, a federation of worker-owned bike delivery cooperatives, which also maintains an open-source logistics platform

I couldn't find a good and recent summary page anywhere, so this is my attempt to put something together.
They started around a decade ago, and they are currently still very active. While the website is a bit out of date in some areas, and the twitter / linkedin doesn't have frequent updates, their Facebook page has had multiple posts in the past few days (related to their annual meetings), and their GitHub repos have constant activity as well.
From October 15th to 18th, the international courier community and federation will gather in Pamplona-Iruña, hosted by our local member Ziclo-P.
You can find info on their copyleft license here: https://coopcycle.org/en/coopyleft/
The Coopyleft license restricts the commercial use of the software to cooperatives, associations, or limited-profit organizations. Please refer to Article 3 of the license for detailed conditions. [source]
The license prevents non-cooperative companies from appropriating the code and turning it into a profit-driven business.

While their website doesn't mention a Fediverse presence, they do seem to think positively of Fediverse related projects. While I'm personally not local (and swamped with other projects already), I think it could be worth reaching out to them and getting them on here. Their Facebook posts don't see much interaction, and I think they would get along well on the Fediverse. Here is what they mention about "Are there other similar projects"
Yes. CoopCycle is part of a broader movement of solidarity-based digital alternatives.
Projects like Framasoft, Mobilizon, Cascade, and Open Food France share the same philosophy.
