Using Google ngram tool http://ngrams.googlelabs.com thank you for pointing at this tool. very interesting look at "intellectual property" versus "copyright" http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=intellectual+property%2Ccopyright... interesting, isn't it ? m.c.

I produced this graph of the comparative use of "commons" and public domain" in Google's digitized books in English from between 1920 and 2000.

Two points of notice : - The huge surge of use of the word commons in the 1930s - The fact that since 1985 use of both terms grows in parallel (with a slight advantage for commons).
