Does that mean that in the future only MetaWeb will be able to provide access to developers to access freebase? If so, that effectively means that MetaWeb will "own" all the data since they will be the de facto gatekeeper? EG: Can someone download all the freebase data onto their own servers and access it locally without having to pay MetaWeb for every API call? http://www.metaweb.com/faq.html How does Metaweb make money? Metaweb provides access to its technology through an API program. Depending on the commercial vs. non-commercial nature, and extent of services required by a developer or publisher, varying fees will apply.
