GFDL corpus
From Appropedia
For the original version of this page, with working links, please see http://develop.consumerium.org/wiki/GFDL_corpus.
The GFDL corpus is the body of all material licensed under GFDL. It includes at least the GFDL text corpus material made available by:
- Wikipedia (copies or forks of the GFDL corpus are often generically called "a wikipedia" which more or less means "near-universal GFDL corpus access provider with wikitext standard editing facilities")
- Wikinfo (except where material is marked as per some other license like Creative Commons)
- Disinfopedia
- Recyclopedia (except where material is marked as per some other license)
- Consudev:Itself
- Consumerpedia
- CorpKnowPedia
- Anarchopedia.org
A GFDL corpus access provider permits retrieval of, and editing of, this material. There are numerous requirements for these due to the GFDL itself - covered in that article.
There are some proponents of a true unified GFDL Corpus with a single set of editing and forking and reintegration rules. They claim that this would require bypassing organizations like Wikimedia, and perhaps bringing in more ethical players like FSF and an independent board for the corpus itself.
