It's perfectly fine that Oliver sent a letter,
since he discovered and his letter was just from him.
We should send one more letter: a form letter
(or something that looks just as official ^_^)
that's worked out on [[meta:]] and can be used again.
I've had a reply from Russ McNeil of Malaspina Great Books. I was going to
forward his reply to the list, but then I had the thought that that would
probably be an infringement of *his* copyright, which would be quite
ironic in the circumstances. :)
Probably not. If you were writing on behalf of Wikipedia, then his
reply to you was received as an agent of Wikipedia, so sharing it with
the list would be appropriate.
Basically, he says that he supports the Wikipedia
philosophy, and thought
that by acknowledging the source and linking back to the Wikipedia
articles he was dong everything he had to. He said he would check to see
if he needed to do more. (I think this means he didn't trust my statement
that he *did* need to do more!) So I think we should check his site again
later to make sure that he's making the necessary changes.
Malaspina Great Books and Malaspina College did come up before, and Ed
Poor appears to have written to them in October 2002 about the Ernest
Hemingway article to mention the GFDL requirements, and the attributions
were modified accordingly by Malaspina. My impression is that Malaspina
is quite willing to treat the matter with appropriate consideration.
