COMMONS INFRASTRUCTURE OPEN NETWORKS Lots of people work on it, everybody benefits from it, people can build upon it (even in a revenue generating fashion), and it’s “owned” by everyone. By participating — even with competitive goals — you are cooperating by serving the content and running compute of others. 🌌
