I think we would be crazy not to register wikipedia. So much effort has gone into this project and the copyright/patent/trademark laws right now seem to be strange at best, and almost random. I think by not registering wikipedia we are taking a risk.
I agree. This is especially true due to the fact that we now have nearly US$40,000 in and offers all over the world to establish mirrors. With just US$20,000 and our current equipment we will have the redundancy and a scalable set-up needed to start having near-real-time web-server mirrors around the world. So it is not like we are trading off a server for the trademarks.
