collection of works that are openly licensed or in the public domain.


### Meaningful

The reports generated by this project (and the data fetched and processed to
support it) seeks to be meaningful. We hope this project will provide data and
analysis that helps inform discussions about the commons--the collection of
works that are openly licensed or in the public domain.

The goal of this project is to help answer questions like:
- How has the world's use of the commons changed over time?
- How is the knowledge and culture of the commons distributed?
- Who has access (and how much) to the commons?
- What significant trends can be observed in the commons?
- Which public domain dedication or licenses are the most popular?
- What are the correlations between public domain dedication or licenses and
region, language, domain/endeavor, etc.?
