restoring page Aug 20th.
editThe admin who posted the copy-vio hasn't responded to my explanations:
- The original text was not copyrighted.
- The author was consulted as a courtesy. The author then granted explicit permission to use the text.
I consider the copyright status clarified, so I'm restoring the text. Here's the record of my posts to the admin's Talk page. I'm just including this for the sake of completeness. DJ Silverfish 16:19, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- May I remove the copyright warning on the Friends of Soviet Russia page? The material cited as being possibly in violation of copyright protection is in fact not covered by copyright. It is taken from the Marxists Internet Archive which allows free use of its material, when that material is not explicitly copyrighted.

- This is a revised post, since my initial response was unclear. Cheers. DJ Silverfish 03:02, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
- Just a friendly notice that I am removing the copy vio from Friends of Soviet Russia. I think the allowable use of the text is suffiently clear to move ahead. If you have any concerns, please contact me via my Talk page. DJ Silverfish 16:19, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
