You are confusing two documents: the article I contributed (and you deleted) is my original work (I run AWHPC) and can be edited at will. The Kirkpatrick/Fazio article is just a link, so the GNU license is not an issue. I am a copyright lawyer, so I am kind of familiar with the points you bring up. Frankly, it looks to me like this is a convenient way to suppress speech that you disagree with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VirginieLP (talk • contribs) 18:12, 17 June 2006
