Re: Delicious

The irony is not lost on me, but is lifting information from Wikipedia an actual copyright issue? Does not Wikipedia adhere to copyleft - which allows all material to be used and cited by anyone else (as long as they don't place any copyright restrictions on it)...

So while ironic and a perfect example of corporate hypocrisy, I don't think using information from Wikipedia is necessarily counter to their argument (though certainly not helpful without proper attribution).

From the Captain Copyright wikipedia article:

For example, it was reported that the Captain Copyright web page uses two quotes about ISBNs from Wikipedia, but fails to follow the requirements of Wikipedia's GNU license by providing a direct link back to the source article or even acknowledging the GNU license as required by Wikipedia.
