The historical position has been that absolutely nothing goes into the WMF software pool unless it is open source. As I recall, the only recognized exception was the closed source firmware running the routers at the server farm. By that standard, even a freebie is not good enough if the system is closed source. However, my recollection is based on discussions years ago. On searching, I couldn't find any policy forbidding closed source software (is there one?). So, it is possible that closed source might be looked on as a more acceptable possibility for some functions now (though I wouldn't bet on it). -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
