[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia influences UK government policy

[Jay Litwyn]

A lot can be learned about submitting other's content with features 
available on browsers. For example, government actions taken below would not 
be a problem if the entire web page were e-mailed. That preserves the 
source, complete with stationery that's very probably familiar. Such things 
would be a gray area if someone's site is "All Rights Reserved", and you can 
always promote a link to someone with interests in common with you. 
Attitudes, maybe; interests, everything but sex, drugs, relijion, and 
politics.
