A good, service or resource that is unable to prevent or exclude non-paying consumers from experiencing or using it can be considered non-excludable.

Use by one person neither prevents access by other people, nor does it reduce availability to others. [1] Therefore, the good can be used simultaneously by more than one person. [2]
