See http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-August/004271.html, http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-August/004327.html. I'm not sure what the outcome was, but as far as I know, we couldn't use the modified version (though obviously the original version is in the public domain).
