MU Wiki:Statement of Principles (Jimmy Wales)

Views as Expressed by the creator of Wikipedia being reproduced as is.

Introduction
As we move forward with software and social changes, I think it is imperative that I state clearly and forcefully my views on openness and the licenses. This page, like all Wikipedia pages, is a living, dynamic document, which I will update and clarify as legitimate questions arise.

I should point out that these are my principles, such that I am the final judge of them. This does not mean that I will not listen to you, but it does mean that at some ultimate, fundamental level, this is how Wikipedia will be run.

(But have no fear, as you will see, below.)

Principles
According to the copy of the page at the nostalgia wiki the original version of this Statement of Principles was created at: 01:34, 27 October 2001.
