Woochi is inspired on worldwide collaborative projects on the internet,
such as Linux and
the Open Directory Project.
Open Content, coined by analogy with Open Source, describes any kind of
creative work (for example, articles, pictures, etc.) that is published
under a non-restrictive copyright license and format that explicitly allows
the copying of the information.
Just as Open Source software is sometimes described simply as free software,
Open Content materials can be more briefly described as free materials.
Examples of Open Content projects are Wikipedia
and Nupedia, both are collaborative projects
to produce a free and complete encyclopedia in every language.
For more information check out the links to the articles (e.g. in The Economist) on the
OpenContent site.
