But that has no bearing on whether it will be a competitor.  The regular
people reading our articles and linking us to the top search results don't
know and don't care about licensing.  To them, the "free" in the tagline
means "no credit card required".  Wikipedia is at the top because of its
neutrality and comprehensiveness (and maybe indirectly because of its
license; if only because of links from the multitude of mirrors our license
spawns).
