[Foundation-l] Baidu Baike attribution and Copyright

[HW]

Dear all,

Someone on zhwp suggested that to write a letter to Baidu and request the 
Wikimedia Hong Kong & Wikimedia Taiwan to help. Also suggested to give a press 
release to all media in HK in order to make something about the stock market. 

Search 
for http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E4%BA%92%E5%8A%A9%E5%AE%A2%E6%A0%88/%E5%85%B6%E4%BB%96#.E7.99.BE.E5.BA.A6.E7.99.BE.E7.A7.91.E7.9A.84.E6.89.80.E4.BD.9C.E6.89.80.E7.82.BA on
 Chinese Wikipedia.

主題： Re: [Foundation-l] Baidu Baike attribution and Copyright

Dear all,

Sorry, but the article is out of update. According 
to http://www.baidu.com/search/baike_help.html#百科协议 , Baidu Baike has changed to 

use the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND. Also, it said:

* Use of non-commercial use should give the author name and Baidu Baike
* Use of commercial use should ask for author's permission, and state the author 

name also Baidu Baike
* Use outside Baidu Baike must be the same meaning of the author, and also ask 
for Baidu's permissions

So, I don't think that Baidu Baike will change their copyright notice and 
Wikipedia will continue to mark them as copyvio. Due to this issues, the 
copyright related page of Wikipedia is updating. However, the problem is they 
copy the content from Wikipedia and ever from English and Japanese Wikipedia. 
Search WP:BD and WP:BAIDU on Chinese Wikipedia for more details.
