EUObserver.com agrees to put the text of the
first paragraph of each
story in the public domain. That paragraph usually provides a good summary
of the story.
2) We agree to cite
EUOBserver.com as a source for each of these copied
summaries (as we already do with all stories reported on "Current
events").
Aren't those two paragraphs contradictory?
Either way, as I understand it, unless we're declaring the credit to
EUOBserver as an invariant section, paragraph 2 is not GFDL compatible.
Erik's description of the agreement isn't clear. Are we obligated to
cite EU Observer or do we just agree to cite them? If they put the text
in the public domain, we obviously don't _have_ to do anything, but I
can see how agreeing to cite them is nice. If so, I don't think _our_
agreeing to cite them has any bearing on further uses of Wikipedia content.
Has it been made clear to EU Observer that others may use the content
and not cite them?
