These two are great pals. OSI also sponsors the Wikimania event. Has for two years in a row now.

We also want to thank all of our sponsors this year. Without them we couldn’t pull events like this together: Telefonica, Terra, Speedy, The Richard Lounsbery Foundation, Answers.com, Kaltura, Wikimedia Deutschland, The Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Open Society Institute, wikiHow, Wikia, and Banco Credicoop. Thank you!

That makes sense; I was wondering why Wiki labeled ‘Patriot Movement’ as a terrorist org. I tried to correct the posting but the wiki overlords wouldn’t let me.
