We believe that freeing our software is great for our community, and great for our business.&quot; The Affero license gives users the right to modify, share, and even resell improvements to the code. Michal explains, &quot;it&#39;s like the GPLv3 but also requires service providers who extend our Wikidot code to share their improvements&quot;. <\/p>\n<p>Wikidot.com is growing popular with smart users who use its wiki functionality to build creative sites, quickly. Pieter Hintjens, founder of iMatix Corporation and CEO of Wikidot Inc., explains, &quot;it used to take weeks to build a website. With Wikidot my team can make new rich sites in a matter of hours. It&#39;s all about doing more with less.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>Through pure word-of-mouth, Wikidot now ranks as one of the most popular wikifarms, and is growing at the rate of 500 users a day. Michal Frackowiak concludes, &quot;we deliver a quality product and a very reliable service. Our users are our best sales people.&quot; <\/p>\n<p> Software is available free of charge to everyone at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wikidot.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"wikidot.org\" onclick=\"linkClick( this.href );\">wikidot.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p> About Wikidot Inc. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wikidot.com\/company\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Wikidot Inc.\" onclick=\"linkClick( this.href );\">Wikidot Inc.<\/a> is a privately-held corporation based in Delaware, US, with an operating office in Poland.
