BURN THEM!  I think RMS would have some interesting input, I am
forwarding the message to him and the FSF.

Hello,

I've just discovered that a website called called "Malaspina Great
Books"  
has "adapted" hundreds of our biographical articles and included them in
their database. They claim copyright of this database ("This database is
maintained by Malaspina Great Books 1995-2003") and make no mention of
having released any of it under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation
License. Clearly they are infringing the terms of the licence. What
should we do about this?

The Malaspina website is at:

http://www.malaspina.com/

See also [[Talk:Galileo Galilei]], which is where I first noted the
fact.
