Free knowledge for the world costs around $200M per year. Good example of a universal basic resource. If scaled to hardware (1000x more difficult), that would translate to about $200B. OSE suggests that the [[Cost to Open Source Civilization]] is $50B, so the mediawiki foundation extrapolation is on the high side.</div>Marcin
