    How exactly does that work? Wikipedia does not “own” the content on the website, it’s all CC-BY licensed.

      Yeah, they’re selling the work of others. That’s how the site always worked. This venture into “AI” is nothing new.

        So? Still doesn’t make sense to me that wikipedia can sell anything meaningful here, but I’m also not a lawyer. Do they promise not to sue them or sell them some guarantee that contributors also can’t sue them? Is it just some symbolic PR washing?
