[Wikipedia-l] Britannica

[tarquin]

I've seen a lot of recent 1911-Brit imports with the followign footer:
//

/
/

/> This entry was originally from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica 
<http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_Encyclopedia_Britannica>.
/

However, 
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3A1911_Encyclopaedia_Britannica 
says:

Although the /Encyclopædia/ is not copyright and you can copy its 
phrasing directly if you wish, Wikipedia cannot /advertise/ the presence 
of this material using the word "Britannica", which is a trademark 
<http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark> of Encyclopædia Britannica, 
Inc. Of course, we can still /use/ that phrase within our pages to give 
proper credit.

I'm a bit baffled by this. I've seen many older pages that say:

 > This entry is from a 1911 encyclopedia

So we can't use their name, but we credit them? Does that mean "don't 
use their name EXCEPT to credit them", or "don't use their name and 
credit them in an abscure fashion that dones't use their trademark"?
