I presume there's no reason all the same not to mention it in the HD-DVD article?
As explained earlier, it is perfectly easy to write an informative and useful article about the topic without ever feeling the need to quote the string in question.
And it's also perfectly easy to write an informative and useful article about the topic which does quote the string in question. So unless the foundation takes a position that we can't mention the string, I think we should.
Now, the string is apparently listed in the spam blacklist. However, it isn't listed on "http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist". I assumed this was due to one of the foundation employees special-casing it, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know how this works?
