there is an ongoing discussion of whether EB holds a copyright in the list of articles itself.
I've asked this back when I did the Columbia list, and I didn't get a response, but I'll ask the same question again now: Why don't we just ask them if they're okay with it?
I was about to ask the same thing in my post, but I somehow forgot.
And if they don't answer, but simply complain to the media instead? Given their regular habit of bad-mouthing us in the press, I'm not keen on handing them an opportunity they can spin into "Look, Wikipedia is blatantly copying all of our articles." With Brockhaus, where we have established contacts and a more amicable relationship, I might view it differently.
