If the Czech Wikimedia things the newspaper is abusing of the 'wiki' concept to
sell something that is not, and really wishes to do something about it, I recommend to
contact "consumer protection" and present the case to them; it's a free
services in all the countries I know.
You can claim that the newspaper is using a confusing concept to attract visitors seeking
for collaborative information where there is none.
I don't think you can do anything else, and certainly not along the 'wiki'
trademark/copyright path.
Good luck,

wrote many things.
My sidenote is that if you believe in what you say
then you imply
Wikipedia, Wikimedia and everything we have with
'wiki' string in it,
and every method we use which described as
'wiki-way
of web
publishing' violates Ward's intellectual
rights since
it was him who
first used the word, who conjured up the method
and
made it known.
We're not talking about patents; we're talking about
trademarks. Who
conjured up the method is completely irrelevant, as I have
already
explained. This complete lack of understanding of trademark
law is
precisely why people shouldn't be trying to guess whether
something is
a violation or not. I have not once claimed that it is a
violation. I
have said that it might be one. That is the most I can say
with my
level of understanding of the relevant law and it is clear
I have far
more understanding of the relevant law than anyone else in
this
discussion.
