28-OCT-2001: In recent weeks and continuing into next week, there has been a discussion, among other things, about how to apply the GNU Free Documentation License to Wikipedia. You, the authors, release content under this license. The question in focus will be if it is OK that the founders, organizers, and financial supporters of Wikipedia clarify its requirement to add either a text link or a table to each entry.
The passage in question is the note at the bottom of the page GNU Free Documentation License which was added October 2001.
