Do you think the website violates Wikipedia / WMF copyrights ? The site has
nothing to do with Wikipedia or its cause too.
Just bringing into the attention of all.
Now that Mike is away, who is the next in charge for legal affairs ?
This is interesting!!
The whole wikipedia is about giving away, sharing what you know and
the content is all under CC.
But here is a strong thought to protect and hold on to the copyrights
of wikipedia !!
I have not checked the license of the wikipedia logos.
Here is info on our marks
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_official_marks
If they are
modifiable and redistribution of modified images are allowed, will
such images still remain as wikipedia property? Can I use such
images/content on my website (any website for that matter) ?
Not without permission
Generic speaking, what happens to logos and names and
other such
intellectual properties in such cases?
