Per Chris Keating on the UK list:
"QRpedia.org is owned by Roger Bamkin and Terence Eden, who have been 
maintaining it, along with qrwp.org (where the "qrpedia" links resolve), 
as volunteers. An agreement between Roger and Terence on the one hand 
and Wikimedia UK on the other is in the works, shouldn't take more than 
a few weeks to finish off, and will provide a firm basis for the growing 
use of Wikipedia-linked QR codes in future."
