I don't totally agree since there are many other ways to spread 
knowledge or free knowledge. Education is one of them for example.

Is wikipedia only a new tool for spreading free knowledge ?

I don't think so. What's make Wikipedia a real encyclopedia is that it 
gives power to its readers and allow them to create knowledge instead of 
only receiving it, and to be sure that this knowledge will survive for 
later use.

Wikipedia does not only spread free knowledge, it allows people to 
create it and it keeps the memory of it.
