Licensing

Three tiers, three postures

Tier	Content	Licence
1 — Factual	Identifiers, labels, categories, dates, coordinates, infobox facts	CC0 (Wikidata). Facts are not copyrightable.
2 — Abstract	Lead sections and short summaries	CC BY-SA 4.0, attributed per article
3 — Original	Our own concise synthesis	Anticloud Synthetic Licence 1.0

Share-alike is the constraint, not attribution

Attribution obligations are manageable. Share-alike is not: it is transitive, it binds redistribution rather than use, and it is close to impossible to unwind once a derivative corpus has been published. It is for that reason that the largest and most useful source for this system — Wikidata — is CC0, and that licence posture is stored as a first-class field on every record at write time rather than discovered later.

Your data

Any article exports to TXT, Markdown with wikilinks and footnotes, JSON, CSV, HTML, or a ZIP of a whole result set. Markdown export carries full provenance, so notes taken into Obsidian or Logseq keep their citations. There is no paywall, no account required to read, and no licence key.

Query text is hashed rather than stored by default. Retrieval is pseudonymised and no personal data is held at rest.

encyclopegia.org is operated by Anticloud FZ LLE (UAE), founded by Lois-Kleinner Alpasan. Anticloud also operates 0-1.gg.
