This is all handy but doesn't answer my question on what phrasing to use.
In answer to the advice, people who ask can be sent DVDs which we will burn in thousands. These are more expensive than downloads but more accessible.
Memory sticks will be sent out to a few journalists to review (in which case the balance of risk that they wipe and keep is ok), to warm schools which we already know have it on their intranet and possibly to some other Wikipedia folk who have a known track record of going around schools (in Bangalore or whereever) and loading them onto a lot of computers and intranets. Oh and possibly the new UK WP board if they want.

Presuming this will be available for download, the information could always be copied back onto the drive if it's writeable...
Mmm. I'm not concerned about them losing the information - except inasmuch that if it's not to hand they're less likely to use it - just the prospect that half the recipients will promptly go "ooh, a £10 memory stick, I could really use one of those".
