P2P

P2P is an abbreviation of “peer to peer”, sometimes also described as “person to person” or “people to people”. The essence of P2P is this direct relationship, the commons-oriented peer to peer (P2P) dynamics in society, and its core characteristics include:

• Creation of common goods through open, participatory production and governance processes
• Universal access guaranteed through licenses such as Creative Commons, GPL, Peer Production Licence.

For an introduction to its worldview, see the Commons Transition Primer website.
