Requirements
Knowledge bases require Quaestor. A free Demo and Reader version can be downloaded at http://www.qnowledge.nl. With a Demo and Reader version all knowledge bases can be used and knowledge (source) investigated.
While using a Demo and Reader version, whether you can modify knowledge or store results will depend on the size of the knowledge base you have opened (only below 100 frames you can edit knowledge bases, to check in Quaestor do: Tools>Knowledge base Summary).
When you have a licensed Quaestor version, whether you can modify knowledge or store results will depend on your maximum user level (End-User, Domain Expert or Knowledge Engineer, to check in Quaestor do: Help>About Quaestor).
License and Warranty
All knowledge bases are provided on the basis of the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or simply GPL): http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php or a more readible summary: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/
Basically this means:
0. The freedom to run the knowledge base for any purpose.
1. The freedom to study how the knowledge base works and adapt it to your needs.
2. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbour.
3. The freedom to improve the knowledge base and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
