called "ansvarig utgivare" (roughly "legally responsible publisher").
Does
this makes sense?
It would depends what that legaly means
Also, they have not given the full text of the
GFDL-licence. DonĀ“t you have to do that?
Yes you are required to provide a full copy of the GFDL.
5. Right now Metapedia have around 1.300 articles.
This is to be measured
against svwikis more than 200.000 articles. This does not appear to make any
kind of threat, but why wait until every other search on Google has a
Metapedia hit on second place (after Wikipedia, of course)? A random Google
user probably can't be expected to know that Metapedia is run by people who
claim that millions of Jews *didn't die* in the concentration camps.
Type "jew" into google. Notice the third result. It's nothing new.
In any case I doubt they will get very good results on google.
My question is how to handle this. Can we do anything
else beside complain
and try to outdo Metapedia by being sooo much better?
Not really. Can't even really complain.
Unfortunally, I
suspect that this may be the price of free software and free content, but
shouldn't Wikipedia be able to protect its reputation somehow?
The puzzel globe and the name are protected by trademark. Everything
else is free to use.
This has happened before in english. Lucy for us that time around the
media didn't notice.
