Wikimedia Foundation
The nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia and its sibling projects, funded mainly by small reader donations. Discovered while ingesting wikimedia-enterprise, its commercial API arm.
It matters to this spoke as the most-reused content corpus on the web and therefore the first publisher to face the AI-era question in full: bot traffic rising, human pageviews falling, and a license that permits anyone to take the text for free. Its answer — sell serviced access, cap the revenue at 30% of the total, keep the content open — is the one worked example of a knowledge site earning from AI companies with published financials behind it.
