	:[[Wikipedia]] unrighteously uses a mass of [[GFDL corpus]] content that was donated "to the GFDL itself" not "to Wikipedia" - no ownership rights were ever ceded to [[Wikimedia]] in particular, and even new contributions are not so deeded. So the rights of those contributors and those who you call "wikipedians" are not the same thing, and attempts to make them the same thing are easy enough to slap down legally. We're watching all your mistakes.		:[[Wikipedia]] unrighteously uses a mass of [[GFDL corpus]] content that was donated "to the GFDL itself" not "to Wikipedia" - no ownership rights were ever ceded to [[Wikimedia]] in particular, and even new contributions are not so deeded.

			::We care very deeply about preserving the right to fork and the right to freely redistribute Wikipedia content. However our hardware resources are limited. We couldn't possibly serve someone trying to request hundreds of pages per second, although we'd be happy for them to obtain our content in a more orderly fashion. Similarly, we would prefer it if mirrors and forks would cache content locally rather than fetching it from Wikipedia on every client request. It is not against the GFDL to require that they do so. -- [[User:Tim Starling\|Tim Starling]] 13:28, 24 Jun 2004 (EEST)
