It seems terrible that such a project would lock up all that knowledge in a proprietary form.

Fortunately, my scan of their website seems to indicate they have released their ontologies, their under a creative commons license.

Hell yeah! Thanks for the link! Very encouraging for my proposal of integrating it with other methods. :)

OpenCyc is only a fraction of the ontology, unfortunately. There's a lot of internal desire to update and expand OpenCyc, but my understanding is that at present the company hasn't secured funding that they're really allowed to use for that purpose.

Oh no! I take it back! We're still missing the knowledge base we need. Least OpenCyc might be a nice start on it.
