- Sorry, the page states: Copyright © 2004-2005 AWHPC. All rights reserved.
furthermore, it states: As such, altering of content in any manner is strictly prohibited.This is inndirect conflict with the GNU Free Documentation License, and see the copyright notice of wikip[edia that states: That is to say, Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit requirement).. As such, the licence of the originating site conflicts with wikipedias copyright, and therefore it is not allowed to be copied. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 17:51, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
You are confusing two documents: the article I contributed (and you deleted) is my original work (I run AWHPC) and can be edited at will. The Kirkpatrick/Fazio article is just a link, so the GNU license is not an issue. I am a copyright lawyer, so I am kind of familiar with the points you bring up. Frankly, it looks to me like this is a convenient way to suppress speech that you disagree with.— Preceding unsigned comment added by VirginieLP (talk • contribs) 18:12, 17 June 2006
- So, you say that I can copy the information, modify it as I like and use it as I like? -- Kim van der Linde at venus 18:18, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
