Don't joke, that *is* copyright infringement. I can't see how lorem-ipsum text would qualify as fair use, and I very much doubt the Nokia 770 box is GDFL. While I have no real problem with people using our content in such a way, it would be nice if they would do so properly (at least giving credit).
I think it is squarely and cleanly fair use. It's a sentence and a half for goodness sake!
Maybe, but that's no reason not to at least ask them :-)
Sure, but ask them what? The sentence was contributed anonymously, so there's no one to credit. I guess you could ask them to release the box cover under the GFDL, and if there was actually some use to that I think it'd be a good idea. But it's just a box cover.
I vote someone scans in the box cover and puts it up on in the [[Nokia 770 Internet Tablet]] article as a GFDL image. Then hope they sue, just for the irony or whatever it'd be called. :)
