What the WMF does for us is, among other things: allow us to use their
trademarks, provide the servers & technical support that run the
projects, develop and support MediaWiki, provide research and some
support in specialized areas, and fund development of the movement
globally. That is why we give them most of our income.
The relationship between the WMF and the chapter is set out in the
various agreements between us, and was also summarized in the
submissions last year to the Chiraty Commission; one of their big
concerns was our independence.
