[Foundation-l] Britannica

Hm, what exactly are our relations with Microsoft then? :) We are not
in a fight with them either, are we? Also Encarta for instance would
be an interesting partner imho (If only because they know a lot about
distribution), although again the big quetsion is whether *they* are
willing for a cooperation of course (and to have any result of that
under a free license)

We don't fight with Britannica, but we make the Internet, not suck :) Our relations with Britannica are not similar to relations between Microsoft and FSW, not in all aspects. In Poland we think about talking/meeting with PWN - we want it, they... I don't know.
