The opposition at least in my case is about how far some people and corporations will go to claim copyright (or trademark, or indeed patent, although the latter doesn't affect Wikipedia nearly so much) in ways that range from laughable through questionable and dubious to unlikely.
Oh sure. I recently handled a complaint from someone who claimed that sales figures for a product which he quoted on his website were copyright, and we may not reproduce the figures. That is clearly complete bollocks. On the other hand we had someone complaining that a formatted list of tour dates was a direct lift out of his book. He was right; it was a direct lift.
