It'd certainly be nice. To some extent it's unreasonable, of
course
(we don't want to be freely distributable in China, for example).
You what? I
thought that was the whole problem, that we AREN'T "freely
distributable in China" because of blocking...or do you mean that we don't
want people we don't like repackaging us?
Don't let your pique with the administration get in the way of providing
information to the people..."freely distributable" means no exceptions as to
"who", it's the "how" and "how much" we're worried
about. If the Chinese
government had set up a *true* mirror of Wikipedia inside their area of
control, there would be no basis for complaint, it's that they are imposing
restrictions on the content which is the problem.
