[Foundation-l] Wikipedia content in SMS

Dear all,

An Indonesian telco company contacted some of us, Indonesian Wikipedia
sysops, a couple of weeks ago. They are interested in providing their
users with Indonesian Wikipedia contents by SMS. I would like to ask
some question:

# Since Wikipedia content is GFDL, how can they comply to the license?
# The name "Wikipedia" itself is a trademark. Can they put the name on
their advertising? How?

Have anything similiar to this situation happened? Please share or
give us direction on how we should handle this, since we think the
idea is good to make Wikipedia more known to Indonesian.

Thanks.
