Where does it say that the WMF's mission is to be an ocean?  Here is our
mission statement (emphasis mine):

===
The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people
around the world to collect and develop educational content under a FREE
LICENSE OR IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, and to disseminate it effectively and
globally.
===

It's obvious that, if in the process of becoming your ocean, we give up
the free license nature, then we've failed.
