Open Source.. a new form of common sense?
“Every social stratum has its own “common sense” and its own “good sense,” which are basically the most widespread conception of life and of men. Common sense is not something rigid and immobile, but is continually transforming itself, enriching itself with scientific ideas and with philosophical opinions which have entered ordinary life...”
Antonio Gramsci. Selections from the Prison Notebooks (London: Lawrence and Wishart, 1971), 326
