[Foundation-l] use of trademarks and liability

I just noticed this:

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3898530205/ref=ac_hotlist_prod/302-4208340-7410424

It is a CD version of the German Wikipedia. That's all nice and fine but what
process was used to clear the use of the official Wikipedia logo and name? 

I'm just a bit worried about the legal ramifications - esp in ref to trademark
and liability if there are copyvios since this looks like an official Wikipedia
publication. 

In short, I'd like to hear from an IP lawyer before anything else like this
happens.
