Welcome to the Digital Commons Policy Council website. The DCPC is an international think tank established in 2021. It aims to increase the recognition of the benefits of digital commons such as free and open source software and Wikipedia, and of the volunteer labour which produces these common goods. It does so by producing evidence-based public reports and other resources.
