Do you mean in terms of breaching the right to cite applicability
limits, or in terms of not making full use of (the - more restrictive
than US fair use provisions - but nevertheless extant) their countrys
right to cite exceptions to the strict interpretation of copyright law.

I could see that there might easily be both types of situations.
In fact I would be surprised if there was no wikipedia that was
paranoid that way.
