"If the Times lawsuit is successful, then the use of Wikipedia content could – conceivably – likewise be found to be infringing the copyright of its volunteer authors." -- However, due to the terms of our Creative Commons license, as long as there is an acknowledgement somewhere they are using text from Wikipedia, the copyright of volunteer editors are not harmed. The license permits -- if not encourages -- text on Wikipedia can be reused for any purpose, in any way, a user permits. However, only as long as that freedom is given in turn which may be their infringement. -- llywrch (talk) 21:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
