Polish language Wikipedia on DVD

Polish language Wikipedia on DVD

In August 2005, the Polish trade journal Enter , published between 1990 and 2010, published a DVD version of Wikipedia as a supplement to one of its special editions . According to its own information, the publishing house Lupus , a subsidiary of the German Hubert Burda media group , had previously tried in vain to contact the Wikimedia Foundation and coordinate the project with them. The publication, which took place without prior agreement, violated the GNU FDL licenses, and the software supplied with the DVD did not work on all operating systems.

A second DVD edition was published as a joint project of the Polish chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation and the Polish publisher Helion . It contained articles written before June 4, 2006. The edition was completed on November 24, 2006 and published at the end of July 2007 at a price of 39 zloty , the equivalent of around 10 euros.

Award for the two founders

On January 27, 2005, the founders of the Polish-language Wikipedia, Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz and Paweł Jochym, received the Internetowy Obywatel Roku 2004 award given by the Internet Obywatelski company .
