The word "Common" is a reference to the language Common Lisp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp. No explicit link with the tragedy of the commons was implied. Implicitly, of course, it applies - there are many participants, each of which is aware of their own gain and unaware of how their actions cost everyone else. The result is that when they all get their changes in, the result is terrible for everyone. For another example, C++ is a terrible language, but it contains many good ones.
