Does the GNU Free Documentation License give everyone the right to stick a frame around the Wikipedia and rename it, as Sterling has done?
What's the difference between hijacking and proper use?
Is Sterling making a mockery of Jimbo's promise not to have ads in Wikipedia?
Someone explain this to me, please.

The GFDL gives people a right to use the Wikipedia content in almost any way they want, as long as they follow a few guidelines.
That said, nobody has the right to misuse the wikipedia.org servers in any way that's not acceptable to Wikimedia.
It'd probably be a good idea to write up a [[Wikipedia:Server use policy]] to make it explicit what the policy is.
