I also see another reason why I want to get rid of
this: I see
several copiers who copy Wikipedia articles, keep them under
GNU/FDL, but copyright their layout. Whether this goes against the
GNU/FDL or not, it certainly goes against the _spirit_ of the
GNU/FDL. I would like to speak up against it, but currently I feel
we are very weak there, because we do something very similar
ourselves. I would want to change this text to "This article is
available..."
Why not put some automagicality in it? I'm not sure if this is feasible,
but a combination of Fair use / GFDL / Other radio buttons for
submitting images (flag saved with the image in the db) and a simple
copyright notice algorithm:
Plain text article: "Text is available ..."
Text with GFDL image: "Article is available ..."
Text with Non-GFDL-image or both: "Text is available ..."
?
