Ha! I would like to immediately challenge community members to come up
with some way to reuse wikimedia content in one of the media listed by
geni, above... (a knitted article, authors embroidered on the back?
An engraved-tankard with PD picture? A spoken-wikipedia 45?). Best
example brought to Wikimania this summer will win a prize, with
categories: most creative, best craftsmanship, best use of/compliance
with the GFDL, etc. If a contributor sues you over content reuse, I'll
help pay the legal fees, any items produced/sold commercially
excepted.
