The Wikipedia Foundation has been thinking about making the “free encyclopedia” paid for companies. So, Wikipedia will offer a paid service specifically for the largest users of the site – Wikimedia Enterprise. For ordinary users, it looks like the site will continue to provide free access.
Wikimedia Enterprise is needed to provide paid tools and services to large tech companies to make the use of content efficiently. To date, representatives of Wikipedia have already begun to communicate with representatives of the IT market about Wikimedia Enterprise. It is assumed that in June the parties can reach an agreement.
