Sure, giving our website design away under a free license is a nice thing to do but... Why the hell should we be nice?
The entire reason Wikimedia exists is to be nice.
Sigh... The moment I hit send I knew somebody would say this. We could spend days discussing the reasons for Wikipedia's existence ("purpose of meaning" anyone?) as well as the degrees of niceness. ;)
I simply believe that we're being nice simply by gathering and providing knowledge. We do not have to be really, really, reaaaally nice by also saying "Please, confuse people and mess with our visual identity by using our site design! Go ahead! It's free!". That's not even being nice anymore. That's being dumb (I know I will most probably regret using this word when I wake up tomorrow...).
Goodnight.
