    Even if this is true (and I don't think it is, given that the 7th most visited website on the planet is just one of its projects), you are allowed to fix it. The source (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki) and contents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download) are all available for you to go and host yourself.

  • opendata.cern.ch

    Source code for the CERN Open Data portal

    Huh? CERN publishes their data: https://opendata.cern.ch/ CERN is also pretty big on open source in general: https://home.cern/science/computing/open-source-open-science Again, the attitude seems to be, "There are times where we may not want to be 100% open, so let's assume there are good reasons it won't work for EA." I'm not saying everyone needs to publish their bank account numbers, passwords, and a video stream of the office bathroom. You can use sense and still be open.
