The project was started (and still being partly coded by) one of the most successful Czech internet entrepreneurs, currently ~16th wealthiest Czech out there, his fortune estimated at ~$.7bn, so this venture seems to be self funded.

I can dig up an interview I read with him (in Czech), but I can't recall him talking about the financial side of things. He rarely talks to the press, so it's hard to come by this sort of information.

That's kind of amazing. Is it common for wealthy entrepreneurs to create self-funded projects like this?

Sounds like some kind of internet-philanthropy...
