This is a first modest draft for a software policy for WMF projects.
It's an attempt to codify our existing practices re: free file formats
& open source software. I'd appreciate feedback & edits. If we can end
up with something that makes sense, I'll put it to a Board vote.
For myself, I fully support clause 3: "Creating a functionally equivalent
copy ("mirror") of a project operated by the Wikimedia Foundation
must not require the use of proprietary software by the third party
creating the copy."
On clauses 1, 2 and 4. I think I need to study them further, before I
say anything too definitive, one way or the other.
