Openness, in the context of peer production, governance and property, refers generally to the availibility of the raw material for the social cooperation to occur. If such material is indeed "open", then it means that individuals and communities are "free" to use and modify it.

The open/free paradigm is part of the three processes that are necessary for the social reproduction of peer to peer processes, see the Circulation of the Common. We have attempted a defintion of a Open Movement which links those three aspects: open/free, participatory, and Commons oriented.
