Is that an actual for-profit company controlled by the non-profit wikimedia foundation, or just a way for the foundation to make money to run its operations? My understanding is it’s the latter, unlike Mozilla and now Raspberry Pi. See here:
Wikimedia Enterprise is a product of the Wikimedia Foundation, with content created by volunteers around the world.
A nonprofit doesn’t have to rely exclusively on donations to fund its operarions.
it’s not. They do have a commercial product they use to fund their operation, in addition to donations, but that doesn’t make them a for-profit company.
oh I didn’t know wikimedia was also a for profit in disguise. that sucks hard.
