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,

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".
