One of the most prominent registered users of Ethno::log, Chris Kelty of Rice University, Texas, has edited and published a series of articles at the "Social Thought and Commentary"-section of Anthropological Quarterly, called CULTURE'S OPEN SOURCES. Accordingly the series is published under a cc-licence and therefore free to download (.pdf, 487KB [KeltyBytes]). Out of sheer understatement -- amazing for a man, who sometimes outdoes Howard Rheingold with his shirts -- Chris hasn't posted this himself on Ethno::log.
