Hello
My name is Vic Mehta. I am a Mechanical engineer and I live in Michigan. I like your site about all technical stuff on Thermodyanmics, electronics, physics etc....
I was wondering if this is something, can I get on a CD or how do I download everything for my reference. I only want this only if this is freely available.
Thanks Vic Mehta

You can download the database at http://download.wikimedia.org/. It is not yet available on CD-ROM, but this is in the works.
The text is available under the GNU FDL. This means you can use the text freely, but your derivative works must also be FDL'ed (freely available).
As far as I'm aware, you must also link back to Wikipedia.
Greetings, Timwi

Wikipedia content IS freely available, with only some restriction in re-distributing. CD versions are vaguely planned, but no clear date is set. Database dumps are available at http://download.wikipedia.org If you want to download a browsable version, try http://www.tommasoconforti.com/wiki/ Archives are in tar.bz2, so it's possile that you will need a decompressor program.
