Preliminary steps toward a general theory of internet-based collective-action in digital information commons
This paper presents some of the findings from a 5-year empirical study of FOSS (free/libre and open source software) commons, completed in 2011. FOSS projects are Internet-based common property regimes where the project source code is developed over the Internet. The resulting software is generally distributed with a license that provides users with the freedoms to access, use, read, modify and redistribute the software. In this study we used thr…

An important distinction between natural resource commons and FOSS commons is that the “tragedy” to be avoided in natural …

The United States had begun its war with support from the United Kingdom, Australia, and a number of smaller countries. The initial phase …
