San Diego, Houston and Copenhagen, 1996 to 2026. Three projects took licenses written for compilers and pointed them at an encyclopedia, a publishing platform and a web framework. Jimmy Wales put a wiki beside a failing peer-reviewed encyclopedia and watched the wiki eat it. Matt Mullenweg forked an abandoned blogging script at nineteen and spent twenty years holding a foundation, a venture-funded company and a domain name that was his personally. David Heinemeier Hansson extracted a framework from a product he was paid to build and gave it away. All three kept control. What, exactly, were they holding? In 2024 somebody tested it in court; in 2026 a board tried to remove one of them and failed inside two days. Covers Jimmy Wales, Matt Mullenweg, David Heinemeier Hansson, Bomis Inc., Nupedia, and Wikimedia Foundation.
