 - [x] what actually is hyperledger fabric? Is it a closed blockchain that different groups can run independently for their own use-case? Or is it one single closed blockchain that many different groups participate in.
 	- hyperledger fabric is one of the projects created by hyperledger. It is a framework/base from which the community can develop their own blockchains.
 - [x] is governance within a closed blockchain the same as within an open blockchain
