Our primary concern, however, especially regarding the English Wikipedia, is for US law.
Is this policy? I think it's a problematic policy. I've heared Jimbo extol visions about having Wikipedia printed and sent out to the poor and the wretched, once we have enough articles and enough funding.
It's not really policy, it's just a fact. If someone in a foreign country gets mad at me and wants to use the laws of that country against me, well, that's just tough for them, because I live in the United States, and the U.S. will not generally enforce that kind of claim against me here.
But, yes, it is also true that we want to make sure that what we are doing is distributable widely, and if we can comply with European copyright laws too, without too much trouble, we should.
