Z:gnu-www-ja-copyright-and-globalization--9528cc-We now have a free encyclopedi/en

We now have a free encyclopedia project which is, in fact, a commercial-free encyclopedia project, and it's making progress. We had a project for a GNU encyclopedia but we merged it into the commercial project when they adopted our license. In January, they switched to the GNU Free Documentation License for all the articles in their encyclopedia. So we said, &ldquo;Well, let's join forces with them and urge people to contribute to them.&rdquo; It's called &ldquo;Nupedia,&rdquo; and you can find a link to it, if you look at http://www.gnu.org/encyclopedia. So here we've extended the community development of a free base of useful knowledge from software to encyclopedia. I'm pretty confident now that in all these areas of functional work, we don't need that economic incentive to the point where we have to mess up the use of these works.
