Freebase has 2,751,614,700 facts, Wikidata has 13,788,746 facts.
Freebase was acquired by Google and their internal Google Knowledge Graph is based on it. Wikidata may import some data of Freebase, but due its stricter guidelines (notability...) many facts of minor will be lost/never migrated. A Freebase dump won't age well, in a lot of cases up-to-date facts from the real world are required. (ex "Who is the current president of the USA?" "Bill Clinton")
Maybe some community project like Archive.org, Apache Foundation, Wikipedia.org, Mozilla can rescue the Freebase community project before it is too late?
I believe the current intention is to move all the Freebase facts to Wikidata. It's been noted on the Wikidata mailing list that the notability requirements for Wikidata are much less strict than for Wikipedia.
Freebase will be closed on March 31, 2015 (largest open collaborative knowledge base): http://www.freebase.com , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase
