I don't believe there was some urgent need that would justify a
non-compliant release.
As it seems this release is a copyright violation: without an internet
connection and some skills in searching,
one cannot find the contributors and history for any article. The fact
that Wikimedia Foundation granted a license
for this release to use the name Wikipedia is very worrying. While we
try to protect the copyright rights of third parties in Wikipedia,
the Foundation allows to some people to disregard the rights of
Wikipedia users. Such a failure...
