As I see it, this is a thinly-veiled attack on the open source movement

The site starts of with "There is a problem with the operation and
functionality of Wikipedia. The basic problem is that none of the Trustees
of Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., nor any of the volunteers who are connected
with Wikipedia, consider themselves responsible and therefore accountable
for the content.
They believe themselves to be above the law."
My personal POV is that I do *not* consider myself "above the law" and am
perfectly willing to stand by what I write (whether initial page content
or a subsequent addition or deletion) but I cannot and will not accept any
responsibility or liability for what happens to the content I create
subsquent to my posting it to the site, hence the licencing used.

notable exception, but I wonder if now is the time to encourage, but
not demand, real names?
BTW, I checked the domain registration.
