I think you misunderstood my question, I was more interested in learning
about projects and organisations in which the structure of the
organisation is modeled after FLOSS development models, not the content
that the organisation if occupied with or the tools they use or develop.

By the way, I assume that you meant the freedoms in the GPL license.
In my opinion you cannot compare the freedoms explicit in the GPL
license and at the same time give examples with CC licensed content.
GPL is a workaround to copyright, CC is simplification of copyright.
These are 2 very different things in terms of freedom and ideology.
