I'm a bit clueless, but does this mean they haven't used any Wikipedia 
content, or that they have but they're hiding it?  I mean, all the 
articles that are marked "CZ Live", are they based on Wikipedia content? 
  And if they are, doesn't that mean they *have* to license under GFDL? 
  Which, unless I got confused in another thread, they aren't planning 
to do?
