ChrisPeterson writes "Bryan Bruns has prepared Nanotechnology and the Commons: Implications of Open Source Abundance in Millennial Quasi-Commons which addresses the interaction between nanotechnology and open source: 'Exploring a few of the many possible consequences of nanotechnology indicates how it might bring profound implications for the management of existing commons and the creation of new commons…Nanotechnology itself could be developed as an abundant common property information resource, a new commons, applying the principles behind open source computer software.'
