- Wikipedia has lots of useful GPL'ed information, though it needs to be assimilated and organized into a unified whole

[edit] Getting permission
- For the time being at least, we can only use outside material that is already in the GNU FDL or the public domain. However, experience on Wikipedia has shown that authors that place their work under one free license tend to be very willing to grant us a GFDL license, if we ask nicely.
