Jeff is making his own business with these? I thought he was just trying to help Wikipedia with his assistance.
Either way, I am pleased with his efforts.

Folks,
Jeff is actually trying to build a business based on reusing Wikipedia content, and yet a good half of these posts attack him for making use of the content. Nowhere in our charter does it say that we're building an immutable work. Let people who want to tweak it, rename it, change my username to a foul word, rename all mentions of Jimmy Wales to "Evil Dictator" or whatever do so. The source material is Wikipedia. The end users can't call theirs Wikipedia, since that's the WMF's trademark. Beyond that, we should be encouraging all uses --

Yes of course, but then the article history shows that someone else had edited the text after I was there, and the diff (included in the distribution or available by link to the Wikipedia website) shows exactly what my contribution was. Does your filter program show its own modifications in the article history?
The GFDL doesn't require that a distributor make every previous version available. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
