The concept of a common-pool resource has nothing to do with awkward radical political ideologies.

I am the furthest thing from an Anarchist, but to deny that Anarchism influenced the ideas of Open Source Software is factually wrong.

    I know this is beside the point but I'm quite amused by this statement. Are you saying you're a totalitarian? I'm not trying to poke at you here; I'm genuinely interested what you consider the furthest thing from an anarchist to be?

    • From an Anarchist perspective isn't any state necessarily totalitarian? But I do believe there aught to be a strong, patriarchal, centralized state with strict laws and severe punishments. I think Singapore is close to an ideal.

The concept of common-pool resource is the basis of the commons, the default state of mankind since its inception to recent times, and the philosophy of commons is called COMMUNism for a reason. In English, it should have been translated more correctly as COMMONism, from the COMMONS.
