Dear FIWARE Help Team,

I am currently carrying out research on open source initiatives for several of our clients in the ICT sector.
After having talked to the European Commission, I learnt that the FI-PPP will stop running, and that FIWARE will now have as new legal basis the FIWARE Foundation, supported by Telefonica and others.

I was wondering how exactly FIWARE will now be run in the future:

1. Is it possible for big enterprises to contribute to the FIWARE platform, too? Or are only SMEs and Start Ups allowed to contribute?

2. Is it possible to provide free services on the FIWARE platform, even if they have not been developed with FIWARE technology?

3. If so, what criteria do they have to fulfill (given that they are meant for accelerating the development of services, and they are offered for free)

4. If participation of big companies with their own service is possible, how exactly can a company integrate its own, free technology or platform into the FIWARE platform?

I would be very happy if you could provide me with answers on this. Please don't hesitate to call me if you need further clarity.
Many thanks,

Natascha Henry
