Hi Emil,could you be so helpful and send me a link to where the licence changed? I couldn't find it. We have made some changes to:
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Imprint
Initially, the paragraph sounded like a licence restriction, but within the same day we renamed it to "best practice for attribution" .
Has the licence changed anywhere else? I think there is nothing wrong with providing best practice recommendations. Quite the opposite, we really would wish Wikipedia would provide such best practices for RDF, so we would be sure how to give proper attribution. We include some links back to the wiki article, but we are unsure, whether this is best practice.

The DBpedia license has recently changed. I believe it should be clarified further, in order to not violate the original Wikipedia license. >From 4(a): "When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, *You may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License.* This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License." I am not saying that the recently added attribution limitation is in direct violation of this paragraph, but there are definitely parts of DBpedia that it cannot apply to, such as the Work apart from the Collection (not the other way around). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
