re Free: it’s fascinating to me that the community that wants to be able to rip off creators by suppressing copyright laws gets so upset when someone uses material that’s _intended_ to be freely available. And it’s infuriating when the blogger who complains about it says, with a straight face, “using text from Wikipedia presents an even more significant problem than reproducing traditional copyrighted text.”
moral fail.
