[On behalf of the YAGO team]
Dear Wikidata community,
YAGO is a large general-purpose knowledge base derived from Wikipedia
and other sources. It contains more than 10 million entities (like
persons, organizations, cities, etc.) and more than 120 million
facts about these entities. It also contains time and space information,
and unifies data from Wikipedias in 11 languages. YAGO is available for
free at
https://yago-knowledge.org
We are happy to announce that the source code of YAGO is now available
as well as open source under the GPL v3 license. This allows everybody
to use the extraction code, and also to contribute to YAGO.
Please find the GitHub link here:

We are very grateful for the work of the Wikimedia community (including
Wikipedia and Wikidata), and we hope that our project can be of use.
Sincerely,
the YAGO team
