[WikiEN-l] Citizendium's assertions about material from Wikipedia

[jf_wikipedia]

This is related to a banned editor [[User:Andries]] claiming in  
Citizendium that as the main contributor to a Wikipedia article, if  
he removes the contributions of others from that article, he can than  
re-post that content in CZ without giving credit to Wikipedia (and  
bypass the GFDL)

My comment:
Articles posted in Wikipedia are licensed under the GFDL and need to  
be attributed to Wikipedia, regardless of how many editors  
contributed to these articles. Jossi 12:44, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

Larry Sanger's response:
Your opinion is incorrect, Jossi. If a person contributed a piece of  
content to WP, that person may contribute the same content to CZ  
under CZ's terms. According to WP itself, contributors to WP are the  
ones who license their edits; they do not donate their copyrights to  
WP. In this case, since Andries presumably still has copyright in the  
content he created and contributed to WP, he may contribute the same  
material to CZ.

This said, we ought to investigate Andries' claim and ensure that in  
fact he really is the only [contributor to the material that he has  
transferred here. See [1]; on the strength of that, I am checking the  
"Content is from Wikipedia?" box. --Larry Sanger 14:03, 13 April 2007

Is this the case? Are editors "licensing their edits to WP and  
retaining copyright"?
