GG, I don't know if it's smart, even if accurate, to expand the concept of the commons that way. With the commons you risk the tragedy of the commons. It seems to me that taking something that is private, aggregating and massaging it, and calling the output part of the commons is asking for trouble. There are enough problems without purposely asking for more.

Re the definition, the Wiki piece mentioned money as arguable. I don't think you can hang your hat on that for establishing legitimacy.
