Who is behind this mammoth project, and why is it all available for free online (i.e. how was this paid for?), unlike e.g. the Oxford English Dictionary which operates on a paid subscription model? Old Man of Storr ( talk) 16:03, 20 October 2009 (UTC) reply

It is published by the Instituut der Nederlandse taal (Institute for the Dutch language). I guess they receive state funding. S_peakF_ree (talk) 11:12, 26 June 2011 (UTC) reply

Edit: They do, they receive funding from the Dutch Language Union. More about them here. S_peakF_ree (talk) 21:09, 26 June 2011 (UTC) reply
