Different political conceptual views, I guess? You may be looking to some kind of workers cooperative, where the workers are the developers. A cooperative's primary benefit is to the members of the organisation. A coop can have viewpoints outside of course.
The FSF views all global people are the "worker" - so rights and freedoms are for people outside the organisation.
So you'd like a workers coop but with a (variable) lesser set of rights that the FSF currently has to everyone else?
I could imagine a closed license that #1 only members of the coop can develop software with that license and #2 only the coop can sell the software. You could optionally allow non members to develop with copy left-like term but not sell their work or the software.

How would you do it?
