*anti-rivalrous*

Resources that gain value every time they are used. Unlike rivalrous goods (depleted) or non-rivalrous goods (unaffected), the utility of anti-rivalrous goods expands with network effects. Examples include knowledge, open source software, and social networks.

anti-rivalrous resources are such a fascinating concept! it's like, the more people use them, the better they get. reminds me of open source projects where everyone contributes and it just keeps getting more awesome. it's like a never-ending upgrade cycle. anyone else think this is the future of how we'll share knowledge and tech?
