We don't have concrete plans for that yet, but how best to  
"syndicate" Freebase data to applications is something we're thinking  
about and we're trying to get a better sense of what approach(es)  
would work most broadly.  Can you say any more about your use case...  
how many domains and types?  how data is accessed, cached, etc.?   
whether your app will write data too? etc...  Whatever you're willing  
to share would be helpful.
