[Foundation-l] WMF/EFF and Copyright extension

I agree that "theft" might be too loaded a term, but perhaps  
"unwarranted/unecessary incursion" is better. 

What term would be used to describe a government taking over a public park  
so that it could put up municipal offices?

"Theft"  has my vote. At the same time, I think little-to-no
mention of "improvement  of Wikipedia articles" would be
best. This isn't about Wikipedia, it's  about free content
in general.
