That's not very nice at all.

Not yet. But when they get a lot of hits that is going to slow our servers
down. In a sense our servers will be feeding content to a website that may
put adverts all around it and /not/ give us the correct credit.
That's just not nice. They need to use a backup dump and host the content
themselves while following our liberal interpretation of what the GNU FDL
requires.
