You can't argue legal arguments with common

OK. Are there cases where they sue for copyright violation and the
defender took them at their word?
None that I'm aware of.
What you're saying would imply that we have a
problem having German
contributors to Wikimedia projects at all and the country should be
blocked. I urge you to seek a way around this.
Of course this won't be possible in practice.
Like I wrote in another post, the main problem is in my opinion that on
one hand 'we' tell people, that the GFDL avoids or massively handicaps
the commercial reuse in print (to convince them to 'give us' their
content), while on the other hand we try to ease up reuse of our
content. While our mission clearly strives to the latter, I'm pretty
sure we will get problems with the people who believed in the further
argument.
Bye, Tim.
