Is the Foundation making a statement on the copying of Wikipedia's material (presumably in breach of the GFDL) by Baidupedia? Or did I miss it already?
They are welcome to copy our work, so long as they comply with the license. If they don't comply with the license, then they are doing something unethical. As with other people who start new mirrors and at first often make mistakes in license compliance, I am sure that they will do the right thing in due course. We usually don't have to get too agitated about it. :)
