However, rather than working for free, so Jimmy Wales could profit from their labour via advertising, Spanish contributors forked Spanish Wikipedia as the Encyclopedia Libre Universal. Under the threat of losing the editorial community of such a large language, Wales conceded and set up the non-profit.</p><p>That is to say, however imperfect they are, all the digital commons we have are the result of ongoing struggle and hard work to keep them as commons. </p><p>Via Las Redes Son Nuestras (<a href="https://www.consonni.org/es/publicaciones/las-redes-son-nuestras" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">consonni.org/es/publicaciones/</span><span class="invisible">las-redes-son-nuestras</span></a>) by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@teclista" class="u-url mention">@<span>teclista</span></a></span></p><p>Update with more info:<br /><a href="https://post.lurk.org/@rra/113873611500414068" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">post.lurk.org/@rra/11387361150</span><span class="invisible">0414068</span></a></p>
