Hello everyone,
Wikimedia UK has today published a blog post announcing that the technology
behind QRpedia has been donated to Wikimiedia UK by Roger Bamkin and
Terence Eden.
As a donation from Roger and Terence, the intellectual property in QRpedia
and the
qrpedia.org and
qrwp.org domains will be transferred to Wikimedia
UK, which will maintain and support the development of the QRpedia platform
for the future for the benefit of the Wikimedia community. Roger and
Terence will act as honorary advisors to Wikimedia UK in this, as well as
retaining their moral rights of attribution, but will not receive any
financial consideration for this. The transfer of the domains will take
place as soon as the remaining legal details have been resolved.
Wikimedia UK is grateful for this donation which will allow ongoing
technical support for a number of Wikimedia-related outreach projects where
QRpedia is already in use, including Wikimedia UK’s work with the Derby
Museum and Monmouthpedia, and many others worldwide.
Full details are available on the Wikimedia UK blog at

Thanks and regards,
Stevie
