[OSList] Open Space, Liberty, and Liberality

[Daniel Mezick via OSList]

I think you are on to something here Jeff. The establishment (and mutual 
use of) a commons certainly requires shared understandings, and the 
implicit honoring of basic agreements.

In the USA, for example, there is a "commons of expression" which is 
established and then managed via one, simple, elegant rule called "The 
1st Amendment." When this simple rule is not honored, or is ignored, we 
get a reduction in the diversity and volume of expression-flow.

When this happens, the best ideas never see the light of day. Something 
about "closed space."

Are "closed minds" and "closed space" correlated? Does one beget the 
other? What does it mean to censor expression in an open space?

What is the relationship between " liberté " and open space?
