The free knowledge universe
There are now many projects that made it their mission to foster and spread free know- ledge. This graphic shows only a few of them: The online encyclopedia Wikipedia is the place where its users can collect the knowledge of humanity; Open Access enables exchange of knowledge in academia; the Open Source Software Community collaborates to develop software based on openly available code; the Open Knowledge Foundation promotes the publication, use and re-use of open knowledge bases. All this is done by applying free licen- ses, of which the Creative Commons Public License (CCPL) and the GNU General Public License (GPL) are prominent examples.
