Any chance to release this as an open source? For example, people would like to have installed in their servers and use it for their own things. I think it would be useful for fandom. For example, the Star Wars DB or Lord of the Rings Db :-)
- christophe971 14y agoI'm seriously considering it actually, but not 100% sure at the moment... :) And yes, it would be awesome for fandom, but the whole point of the service is to be able to have all kinds of data in it, so... :)
- pmtarantino 14y agoYes, but people is usually more motivated to contribute to create the biggest database about a specific topic than the bigger ever :) Check, for example, Wikia, which contains Wikipedia for TV Shows which are more complete than Wikipedia.
- mlinksva 14y agoOpen source would be another Freebase differentiator. :) If you're worried about competition, release under AGPL. Similarly for the data, to the extent restricted by copyright and such, release under CC0 (same as Wikidata). Or if you want to be onerous, ODbL. Some neat ideas in the project in any case, good luck!
- oneofthose 14y agoWhy not include functionality to connect different installations to one large, distributed database?
