A [[GFDL corpus access provider]] permits retrieval of, and editing of, this material. There are numerous requirements for these due to the [[GFDL]] itself - covered in that article.

There is some hope that a true unified '''GFDL Corpus''' with a single set of editing and forking and reintegration rules might ariseThis would require removal of obstacles (like [[Wikimedia]] and its [[usurper]] clique), perhaps bringing in more ethical players like [[FSF]] and an [[independent board]] for the corpus itself.   
There are some proponents of a true unified '''GFDL Corpus''' with a single set of editing and forking and reintegration rules.  They claim that this would require bypassing organizations like [[Wikimedia]], and perhaps bringing in more ethical players like [[FSF]] and an [[independent board]] for the corpus itself.   
 
:''In particular, legal harassment by [[Auntie Angela]] and [[Daniel Mayer]] and developer harassment by [[Erik Moeller]] and [[Tim Starling]] must be expected against any such independent entity or even any [[large public wiki]], e.g. [[Recyclopedia]], which is actually effective at beginning to unify the corpus.  These individuals must be considered enemies of the readership of the corpus itself, to be resisted and undermined and defeated on every level.''
 
:''To refer to the '''GFDL corpus''' at all in any context is considered an excuse for [[sysop vandalism]], notably by [[English Wikipedia User Hephaestos]] as evidenced[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration|here].  According to [[English Wikipedia User UninvitedCompany]] "The GFDL serves Wikipedia, not the other way around."  This is entirely contrary to the law and is a classic [[usurper]] argument, that [[sysop power structure]] can determine how to use all these users' contributions without regard to what the law says.''


The [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] will probably need to take some interest in this, as it is not going to be possible to integrate input from all the above without some way of making who believes what, why.  The [[Research Wiki]] may or may not be part of the '''corpus'''.  In any case it will have to define itself as being wholly independent of any [[Wikimedia]] interference or harassment.
