Please delete this list immediately. Opinions of our legal team are divided about the issue, and I feel that in a case like this, conservatism and caution are called for.
Due to the above message from Jimbo, and taking no chances, I went ahead and deleted the Encyclopædia Britannica 2004 list, which was designed in a similiar fashion to the Encarta list. I am not sure what other lists can go, but I think we should not take chances with them if the WMF legal are having issues.
