No idea if that's true or not but I don't think taking "donations" makes you commercial. Wikia, on the other hand, is unquestionably commercial.


Well, that depends on what EULA, etc they agreed to when signing up. If they didn't agree to anything though, then the answer is simply the individual authors as far as I can see it. Untangling what that means in practice is a different (and as you point out very difficult) issue.

In a way it reminds me a bit of copyright issues over a things in a text MUD, where you might have a builder do an area (or just part of an area), another builder later revamps it, etc.


Well, Wikia is flat-out a commercial enterprise, as is YouTube, etc etc. I don't think that's really in dispute.
