The Free Universal Encyclopedia and Learning Source is a project by Richard M. Stallman.
In his essay and announcement[1], Stallman describes its principles:
- the encyclopedia will not have a central publisher "An encyclopedia located everywhere"
- teachers and students are to be involved in the project
- the encyclopedia will include specialistic topics
- the contents of the encyclopedia will be free, protected by copyleft licenses
- there will be no central control
- peer reviews and endorsements of contents will be encouraged

- links to non free material that should rather be in the encyclopedia will be discouraged

- Demopedia
