PLoS is a great resource. My favorite example for the value of free
content research is actually an example of a PLOS/Wikipedia synergy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla#Natural_tool_use_by_all_the_.22great_apes.22

The photos demonstrating natural tool use by a female gorilla come
from a PLoS Biology journal. Such use of photos by researchers in
Wikipedia is of course only possible because of the free license. The
synergies will only increase as we and others create new projects like
Wikiversity where they can emerge.
