The question has come up here (Talk:ChacIxChel) whether it is legal, and separately whether it is advisable or preferable, to use exact quotes from Wikipedia in our articles. Supermorff is of the opinion that it is not illegal because Wikipedia belongs to the GNU license, however having read the Wikipedia article about GNU, I think that we cannot legally copy any GNU material without licensing our own webpage under the GNU. Also, separate from the legal issues, I don't feel comfortable using unattributed exact quotes in any case.
