💡 In simple words: WikiDeal was imagined by one person, Théo Bondolfi. The idea is being given away to everyone: step by step, the rights are being transferred so the whole project belongs to its users and stays free for all.
Credits & Licensing
Concept
The WikiDeal concept was imagined by Théo Bondolfi for the Ynternet.org Foundation.
Rights transfer to the users
A process of complete transfer of rights is underway, so that WikiDeal ultimately belongs to its users, through the Ynternet.org Foundation.
This is deliberately described as a process: the rights are not transferred in advance. The full transfer takes effect once the agreed conditions are met. The corresponding agreement is still to be finalised — it is one of the upcoming milestones of the project.
The goal of this process is simple: that everything ends up under a free license, owned by the community it serves.
License
Everything on WikiDeal is published under a free license:
- Content (articles, contracts, documentation): Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0) — the same license as Wikipedia.
- Software: GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPLv3) — the strongest copyleft free-software license, the family used by MediaWiki.
This means anyone is free to use, share, study and improve WikiDeal, provided derivative works remain free under the same terms.
