Depending on who you're talking to Web 2.0 alternatively means
user-exploitative^wcontributed content, or even the fast-and-lose
handling of copyright which so often goes with it.

I think it's terrible to call those things "Web 2.0", while AJAX makes
sense... but people are doing it. ::shrugs::

There is also a very .. um.. interesting video on Wikiversity about
Web2.0 which spends most of its time talking about free content
licenses and doesn't mention AJAX at all ;), all while using a
soundtrack which is most likely a copyright infringement. ;)
