We believe fundamentally that information wants to be, and should be, free. In that sense we are connected to the ideas and intentions behind open data, but we have no formal relationship with other open data projects. Though the definition of open data is pretty loose, we try to follow general open data principals by not restricting access to Freebase information to registered users, charging users to access our information, imposing restrictive licenses over the use of Freebase information, or using proprietary or closed technology as a barrier to accessing Freebase information.
