Today is the official launch of the commons-blog, from the Information Commons Project (ICP) of the American Library Association. According to Frederick Emrich, the blog's editor, it will "advance the Information Commons Project's goals of promoting public access to ideas and of advocating a vibrant information commons." (PS full disclosure: I'm on the ICP advisory board.)

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
