Since it is CC-BY-SA, can we... ehm... "borrow" stuff from these
articles? It wouldn't be very nice, but are there any legal issues
associated with it?
The thing is, legal issues aside, unless EoE allows original research (I
haven't looked to know), everything published on EoE *should*, in theory, be
based on a source, which we could use directly instead of through EoE (I say
in theory because I imagine that there would be the same sourcing issues
unless there is a tighter content control). And even if EoE did allow
original research, is that something we would want in Wikipedia -- original
research from an essentially non-peer-reviewed source? I see the same
problems in citing (and especially copying) EoE as I do in citing another
Wikipedia article as an authoritative source.
