What are Commons
Understand the idea.
Commons are tangible and intangible resources (goods and services) used and managed by communities or collectives for their shared benefit. Commons are of various forms – from natural resources such as land, water, and forests to cultural and traditional knowledge, and from digital and internet-based resources to the outer spaces as we know it.
