[Foundation-l] Lingoz vs Wiktionary

[GerardM]

Hoi,
It is a red herring. When you add facts to a resource you cannot claim
copyright to it in the first place. What is of interest is that you grant
perpetual rights to the data.

Another question, so you did enter data there .. now how do you get it out
again ?
Thanks,
     GerardM
