Hello all!
After a few updates from PayPal and a new agreement with them, we're now
listed on "eBay for charity".
This means that, by going to
http://www.ebay.co.uk/egw/ebay-for-charity/charity-profile/?NP_ID=133871,
you can donate a portion of the proceeds from any eBay sales you make to
Wikimedia UK. In return, eBay will waive a percentage of the fees for your
sale equal to the percentage you donate. You can also Gift Aid the amount
you donate, and we'll get the Gift Aid on the donated funds, too!
You can read more about the scheme at
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/ebayforcharity/sell.html. There's also a benefit in
that our general PayPal donation fees (which we pay on donations made
through credit/debit cards) are reduced.
If you have any questions, or want to know more, please let me know. I
can't promise I'll be able to answer them all, but I'll try!
All the best,
Richard Symonds

So...
BrewDog, a Scotland-based "hipster brewery" - for want of a better phrase -
have just "open-sourced" their entire recipe collection.
You can read more at https://www.brewdog.com/lowdown/blog/diy-dog.
It's not entirely clear what "licence" they're using but they say:
*"copy them, tear them to pieces, bastardise them, adapt them, but most of
all, enjoy them. They are well travelled but with plenty of miles still
left on the clock. Just remember to share your brews, and share your
results. Sharing is caring."*
I guess "free as in beer" has a slightly different meaning now!
