💡 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.
