Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 20c20
One of the issues being discussed is the requirement (by Wikipedia principal Jimbo Wales and Larry M. Sanger in October 2001) that one use a HTML banner (back reference) on any page on another web site or CDROM on which Wikipedia content appears, or (also now strongly supported by Wikipedia principals) a text link. Please note the GNU Free Documentation Licencse (GFDL) says that the license must be included in every copy of a document. This means that the back reference should at least include a link to the GFDL which is not the case yet in the Wales/Sanger? proposal (or requirement as they like to put it).
