It is no secret that the works of the Wikimedia Foundation projects are licensed under a copyleft schema. By and large (with few exceptions, notably Wikinews), this is done by the GNU Free Documentation License, known by free content junkies as the GFDL.

One of the requirements of the GFDL is that in order to re-use the content (and you can even do it for-profit) is that you must provide information as to who authored the content and where it was gotten from.

Schools-wikipedia.org seems to not be doing that, as my dear friend Danny has pointed out. This is a major foul in my book. I am a major advocate of free content, especially its sharing and dissemination. However, to do this properly, you must provide attirbution. Not doing so equates with stealing the content, commonly known as plagurism.

I would call on the Foundation to get in touch with those that run Schools-Wikipedia and help them get this fixed sooner rather than later. As an anonymous commenter points out, they’ve had plenty of time to do it.
