• Support It was all more clear before the Creative Commons license adoption, since the same software-based license was useful for the purposes of the free encyclopaedia. --Esenabre 13:29, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment Not sure with teh following, can someone verify please? I think Wikipedia copied much of its content back then from an encyclopedia (Britannica?)? Probably it is mentioned somewhere. I assume this was PD? Though I wonder if being so, why this was not credited much more by Wikipedia? ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat 18:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
