Please stop mischaracterizing what I'm saying.
Sorry. Is the following better?
The notion that we are entitled to take his work from him merely for
mentioning the name Wikipedia in the title of his book about
Wikipedia is ridiculous.
That's what I meant. I figured you knew that I was speaking of your
claim, but I guess somebody could have gotten confused somehow.
In my opinion it's always right to
force someone to release their work under a free license. Only some
of the time it's legal, though.
Ah. Oh. I see.
You do recognize that this is an opinion so far out of the mainstream
that to have the Wikimedia Foundation follow it, especially to the
extent of suing people over how they title their books, would be a major
PR disaster, right?
