The Wikimedia Libyan User Group is a proposed User Group of the Wikimedia Foundation. Its mission is to promote the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects in Libya.

One of its core missions is to aid and encourage people to collect, develop and disseminate knowledge and other educational, cultural and historic content in the public domain or under a license that allows everyone to freely use, distribute and modify said content without the payment of royalties.
