Speaking of people objecting to our current licensing, check out [[Talk:Bruce Perens]]. Apparantly he objects to us having an article on him, because he has issues with the license we are using... oh, and apparantly we're neither a Free Software project *or* an Open Source project. Hrm.
I assume you're implying that the paragraph signed "Bruce" (who I now find out is User:Bruce Perens) is supposed to be Bruce Perens? Is there any evidence that's actually the case? Because a comment like "because of the flaws in the license - it is unlawful to host the wikipedia on a computer running any contemporary operating system" seems to be pretty far out there.
Doing a quick Google search, I find http://madpenguin.org/cms/?m=show&id=4921 and http://www.oetrends.com/news.php?action=view_record&idnum=457 ("Wikipedia is an example of a non software incarnation of Open Source."), which makes me even more skeptical that this person is indeed Bruce Perens.
