Yeah, ya really have to defer to the foundation lawyers on these kinds
of things.  If they've said copyright means it can't go up, that's the
answer.

(Of course--  I often see it asked why we would ever need to like to a
site like WikiTruth--  this case has shown us yet another answer, as
this valuable discussion would not have been possible with such links.
