I was just testing this when your mail came in. :)
The original article from SJ Mercury News about Clusty/WP isn't very good:
"Clusty is also one of the first search sites to index and display
results from the sometimes controversial Wikipedia, the online
encyclopedia being compiled from contributions by Internet users. Some
researchers do not view Wikipedia as an authoritative source of
information because it is created by Web users."
They should have said Clusty features Wikipedia in its own tab very
prominently, and it even returns pictures from WP in the search
results. Example:

I overheard some talk about GNU FDL compliance, and I just wanted to
let everyone know that I talked to the CEO of Vivisimo last week
(before they launched) and (a) they love us and (b) there will be no
GNU FDL compliance problems with them.
So, I will contact them in a few days after I have a chance to
assess what, if anything, we'd like to have them adjust.
