Initial advice from my barrister friend was that HMRC "don't have a leg to
stand on". I'm also getting a message sent round the Oxford law department
to see if we can get any additional help.

Third, we're not all about Wikipedia.
We're about the Wikimedia

projects that do this to a lesser extent.
IANAL, but this seems to be the key thing that we're stumbling on. If
we press this aspect of the chapter's purpose, that it supports
Wikimedia which is very obviously an educational charity, and that we
support all our projects esp. Wikiversity and Wikibooks, then maybe
their misapplication will dissapear. Focussing on Wikipedia whenever
Wikimedia comes up is something people tend to do.
