Wikipedia and Free Content

Wikipedia is the largest repositiory of user uploaded Free content on the web.

Although the strict definition requires free content to have no copyright restriction anywhere, Wikipedia content policies necessarily take a commonsense approach to avoid the burden of considering an item's copyright status in all of the 190-plus states on the planet.

While the vast majority of content on Wikipedia is free content, some copyright material is hosted under Fair-use criteria and in a few cases content is allowed where the copyright laws of the country of origin are seriously out of step with the majority of countries.

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or content:

    I know you not, this room never,
    the swollen dress I wear,
    nor the anonymous spoons that free me,
    nor this calendar nor the pulse we pare and cover.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Whoever is content with the world, and who profits from its lack of justice, does not want to change it.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
