Patterns of
COMMONING
Long-Lasting Commons
“Most commons have never gone by that name. For most of history there was no need for such a generic term. The differences between the practices referred to – estover, minga, ejidos, locally-maintained irrigation systems, communal fields and pastures, traditions of gleaning or gathering or turf-cutting or setting aside “pin money” or seeds, sharing software development, or even just maintaining considerate silence after dark – were more important.”
