If we're going to offer it for download, we should keep in mind that people won't put it only at their computers at home, but also back on the web. In this case, it absolutely should conform to the license, with the usual wikipedia back links, history links and a copy of the license included. And we should also remove the wikipedia logo not to invite any imitations and trademark violations.
I just wanted to be clear that I agree with this completely. At the bare minimum of a first change, the page http://static.wikipedia.org/
Should make it very clear that this dump is not for commercial use with our logo still on it.
I thought it did. I wrote:

Also, note that putting one of these dumps on the web unmodified will constitute a trademark violation. They are intended for private viewing in an intranet or desktop installation."
