- The commons may be considered undeveloped land...

... which has been set aside from commercially productive use so that all might enjoy a chance for relaxation and a time away from the usual cares in a natural setting.
It's also a chance for people to express themselves, where those more idle and curious than industrious may be entertained, even challenged by the chance to hear different points of view which are unlikely ever to be put into effect generally.
Central Park is an example.
If all the projects which had been planned and submitted to the City government had been implemented, Central Park would have had many places where services and products were provided, and far less unspoiled nature.
The Commons is a place where monetary value and progress have no place. It's for the relaxation of the citizenry.
Unfortunately, it can also be used as a dump.
In the patent Commons, IBM has unloaded a group of old patents. Given that company's reliance on IP income, one has to expect that those patents were not especially worthwhile. But they will no longer require IBM's maintenance.
Otherwise, just as a park is a diversion from productive labor, so this Commons is a place away from where the valuable work is completed and appropriately turned into money for the support of employees and owners. - Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 11/24/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
