Right, but they license the music.
Ah, yes.
Anyway, I believe the original question was relating to the licencing status of MediaWiki screenshots, no?
I'm of the opinion that distributing a simple, cropped screenshot of the MediaWiki interface, taken in a common browser such as Firefox is unlikely to upset anyone. I have, personally, absolutely no problem with anyone taking pictures of any of the forms I've put *so much* creative thought and expression into[1] because it's all a matter of making our software easier to understand through documentation.
*Unfortunately*, there's this horrible and stupid bloody viral GPL crap in the way of all that, and I expect there's some cretin who won't agree with my line of thinking, above. So I guess we're back to square one.
