He is also co-author of Cyberlaw: Problems of Policy and Jurisprudence in the Information Age (4th edition, 2011). Michael J. Madison is Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Innovation Practice Institute at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where he writes and teaches about information law and theory, along with various disciplines of intellectual property law, contracts and commercial law, and property law. He is the co-author of The Law of Intellectual Property (4th edition). Katherine J. Strandburg is the Alfred B. Engelberg Professor of Law at the New York University School of Law and Faculty Director of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy, where she teaches and writes about intellectual property law, especially as it intersects with user and commons-based innovation, and information privacy law.

Governing Knowledge Commons comes at the right time with the right
mix of case studies for inferences on when, how, and for how long,
commons institutions can provide production incentives while
mitigating those for free riding. Increasingly, advances in
knowledge, research, and solutions to economic and social problems
occur where individual property rights are absent. Common property
institutions can make productive cooperation possible, and this
volume helps in understanding the linkages between the commons and
creativity."

The editors and contributing authors for this work are leaders in
the movement to create a better understanding of knowledge commons
governance, which holds the promise of leading to greatly improved
innovation economics and processes. They are to be commended for
creating this really excellent collection."

Around 1985 Richard Stallman invented 'copyleft' to enforce sharing
among dispersed computer programmers. Since then many other
governed commons have evolved, or been recognized, using the tools
of Elinor Ostrom and her co-workers. This valuable work unites
structured analysis with case histories to further our
understanding of how different sharing communities work. This is
crucial information for societies hoping to resolve the dilemmas
now afflicting the production, preservation, adaptation, and
interplay of intellectual products."

and Professor of Law, Boston University *
This book takes up the challenge of examining the governance of
'knowledge commons' involving the sharing and creation of data,
information, and knowledge. It extends the Institutional Analysis
and Development (IAD) framework developed by Elinor Ostrom to study
natural resource commons and applies the adapted framework to study
a set of very interesting cases. The result is a fascinating
collection of cases studies of knowledge commons ranging from the
Galaxy Zoo citizen science/crowd-sourcing project to Open Source
Software and the Sourceforge repository."
