:::Ok. Ownership naturally leads to some power over current employees, but may I remind once again that it is not true that two of the [[independent board]] members work for Bomis.com, only Tim Shell works there | :::Ok.

''How about this: [http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16564]'' | |||
:"[[Daniel Mayer|Mayer]] said: "At Wikipedia the authors and administrators of our content enforce the GNU FDL by searching for infringes and contacting them. At first we use a friendly form letter, then a more sternly worded letter, and finally a very stern letter. Usually this works, but some web sites are still in breach - we are still trying to figure out what to do with them". | |||
It turns out that Wikipedia.org keeps a list of all its "mirrors and forks" here. | |||
He continued: "I'm one of the Wikipedia administrators who informed WordIQ that they were breaking the terms of our license by not providing a link back to the Wikipedia original and not mentioning that their copied version of our articles were licensed under terms of the GNU FDL. After some time they did finally provide the link-backs and the mention/link to the GNU FDL that we were asking for." | |||
He added: "At Wikipedia we use a very liberal interpretation of the GNU FDL in order to make it easier for people to copy our content"." | |||
:This is laughable. [[Wikipedia]] itself is in constant [[GFDL violation]], and the license does *not* require "links back to the Wikipedia original", it requires access to the source text version of the article, which Wikipedia itself does not provide to all users. | |||
