[Wikimedia-l] Is there an agreement between GoldenMap and the Wikipedia for the use of Wikipedia content?

[Rui Correia]

Thanks Mark and Mike

Mike, well done on finding the "About"! I looked for it and could not find
it.

But surely saying that "Most of the contents are licensed under
CC-BY-SA<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/>"
is not a licence to copy the entire Wikipedia wholesale, without as much as
a mention thereof?

Is there a mechanism to deal with this sort of thing? Where can I refer it
to for action?

Regards,

Rui
