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.

I'm not familiar enough with the legal stuff to figure this out, but I believe it needs to be discussed, our legal obligations need to be clear -- personally, I want to know for myself what I can and cannot write here, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who isn't sure of the rules. Maybe something should go in the Gargwiki Policy page. -- Vaevictis Asmadi 19:55, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
