[WEB4LIB] Re: Librarian: Don't use Wikipedia as source

[Sloan, Bernie]

Michael McCulley is correct when he says "Despite the good intentions,
it's not good policy or practice to post full text copyrighted materials
to the list."

The Web4Lib posting policies state (in part):

"All postings must be free of copyright restrictions that limit
distribution. For example, posting a significant amount of a copyrighted
work verbatim requires the permission of the copyright holder. To verify
that such permission was obtained, all postings of this nature must
include a statement that this is the case."
