In any case,
do you plan to keep up the site? A Wikipedia mirror would
certainly be nice.
It would be if it respected the copyright of the text and the code. It
clearly doesn't, yet. For one thing, they need to change the name of their
mirror. But I hope they're willing to work with us to make it comply with
the GFDL.
Wikipedia is a great resource (that I have personally enjoyed contributing
information to) and we respect the work and effort that has gone into its
creation. We want to support that effort, and definitely want to comply
with the licence terms. Any assistance (by pointing out problems) you can
give us is greatly appreciated. We will modify our installation to make it
compliant.
There are also questions about the GPL phpwiki code
that are
raised, though it does seem at first blush that they're properly keeping
their code separate from ours.
Yes, we believe this is the case. InfoWrangler Server is a stand alone
application that provides a service to Wikipedia. It does not rely on any
database info, or code from Wikipedia.
We have of course modified some of the PHP code of Wikipedia so that
appropriate calls are made to InfoWrangler Server when a page is
viewed/created/edited. This is currently being packaged and will be
released to the Wikipedia development team when its ready.
Once again, we wish to support the Wikipedia project and respect the
licensing scheme it is released under.
