I'm curious about what terms the WMF has on stuff like this (I caught 
the bit about Linterweb after I pressed the "save" button).  The Meta 
page about licensing terms is only suggestions and musings about what 
licensing terms could have between the WMF and 3rd party projects.  I 
guess there is a press release that is being worked on that will explain 
this in further detail near the launch date of the DVD.  And that is 
just in a few days.
