GetWiki discourages the construction of a proper fork by allowing users to fetch articles from Wikipedia on demand, whenever they access a page which doesn't exist. This means that a large proportion of the content hosted by a GetWiki site is actually controlled by Wikipedians. What's more, Wikimedia would be within its rights to cease service to any GetWiki site, leaving them out in the cold with a useless leech script. Why not just [http://download.wikimedia.org/ download the database] and end your dependence on Wikimedia? -- [[User:Tim Starling|Tim Starling]] 11:50, 23 Jun 2004 (EEST)

:This is bullshit but it does prove [[Wikimedia]] is a menace to the [[GFDL corpus]].  Wikipedia is not "within its rights to cease service" under some reasonable interpretations of the [[GFDL]];  Since very few [[trolls]] are blocked in both places, the availability of current articles both ways is one way [[Wikimedia]] avoids being called on its frequent [[GFDL violation]]s.  It is easy enough to suck the appropriate articles in through various read-only proxies that the [[developer vigilantiism|vigilante]] [[usurper]]s don't know about, and never will know about.  They can't track all the tools trolls use.

:As for "control", so what?  The point is that [[GFDL corpus access provider]]s can cooperate, so that anyone else could feed [[Wikinfo]] if [[Wikimedia]] cut it off fascistically.  That would put the new feeder in power position, as it could serve any other [[mirror web site]] that [[Wikimedia corruption]] deemed a threat to its monopoly.
