[Foundation-l] Is "Wiktionary" copyright?

[Dan Rosenthal]

I think the bigger question would be "Why did Open Democracy copy a mediawiki installation and at least some content from Wiktionary, but change the license to CC-BY-NC-ND and not credit Wiktionary on the history page?"

So in fact, I believe copyright IS at issue here.
