That's helpful, but does it seem overly restrictive? The license itself
allows release of derived work as long as it has the same license.
And does this fall into that category? What if you built a model of the
probability of every word in english using wikipedia as a corpus and
wanted to include that? Would that fall under this heading?

Subject: incorporating wikipedia features
Hi team,
I have built a small lucene index from the wikipedia dump that helps with
calculating a feature for the coreference module. It gives a big
improvement in performance and it is likely that there are more features
that can be incorporated from this resource.
My question is about how to go about including this resource. The
Copyrights page says the text is available under the Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License which is very permissive. But I'm
wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Specifically, the
resource is a lucene index of 5000 wikipedia articles, where each indexed
document is a wiki entry with the title and slightly modified full text
(wiki syntax stripped and foreign characters removed). Any knowledge on
this subject would be appreciated.
Thanks,
--
