Since it is CC-BY-SA, can we... ehm... "borrow" stuff from these articles? It wouldn't be very nice, but are there any legal issues associated with it?
The thing is, legal issues aside, unless EoE allows original research (I haven't looked to know), everything published on EoE *should*, in theory, be based on a source, which we could use directly instead of through EoE (I say in theory because I imagine that there would be the same sourcing issues unless there is a tighter content control). And even if EoE did allow original research, is that something we would want in Wikipedia -- original research from an essentially non-peer-reviewed source? I see the same problems in citing (and especially copying) EoE as I do in citing another Wikipedia article as an authoritative source.
