Are governments properly supporting the digital commons? Many adopt open source software but don't fund the upstream projects that maintain it. This amplifies a "tragedy of the commons" rather than being part of the solution. Governments have historically invented ways to shape the playing field - patents, public universities, copyright, taxes ... They can do it again!

Governments need to adopt Matrix responsibly | Anais Concepcion
Are governments abdicating their duty to the digital commons? And no, this isn't another "pay up" post. The solution is bigger than money. Element astutely highlights a troubling pattern: A government adopts open source software, deploys it, and pays nothing to the editors maintaining the upstream project. Upstream editors, receiving no revenue from their largest users, face a rational but painful choice: build proprietary features that force payment, or shut down. I think it's worse than th…
