    Dabble DB is a commercial, hosted web application for collaboratively managing and visualizing any kind of structured data. It was designed to empower average computer users at small businesses and non-profits to build their own web-based databases rather than relying on consultants, IT departments, or heavyweight desktop database applications like Access and Filemaker.

    Recently, Dabble DB announced the Commons Plan, which allows anyone to use the application for free if and only if they agree to license their data under the Creative Commons license and make it available to the world. This lets communities share data freely, while still providing a commercial level of service and privacy to paid business users.
