Large corporations should not be allowed to violate copyleft. If they are creating derivative products from Wikipedia -- which they are -- those derivative products should be released under CC-BY-SA.
Google Knowledge Graph seems to be somewhat close, in that there is an API https://developers.google.com/knowledge-graph/ - but it is not CC-BY-SA.
Wikipedia's license is *not* CC-BY. It is CC-BY-SA.

That's a completely different and unrelated issue to the thread YOU
stated.
The issues share the commonalities of user friendliness/design and a Foundation decision on the question of presentation vs. editor attraction and retention.
Please stick to the topic at hand or start a new thread.
Suppose we offer Cook, Bezos, Page, and Nadella the right to omit the date in return for $50 million each, half to the Endowment and half to the Foundation?
I don't think it's particularly user/design friendly
How does the Foundation choose between presentation advantages for commercial users, and advantages for attracting and retaining editors?
Is the request to try the word "edit" instead of a pencil icon on mobile a good example of the Foundation's general disposition of such questions?

I wanted to share this because it's pertinent to issues with large companies using our information without complying with the license terms:

One discussions I've had with both Erik Moeller online and Katherine Maher in person is about whether voice browsers should share the date of CC-BY wiki articles when their speech synthesis devices quote from them.
Are there any reasons that would be bad? It would help encourage new editors by raising awareness of the ultimate source of "AI" answers.
