I'm not a lawyer, but I think such material is public domain.  There's
no indication it's covered under the GPL or something like Creative
Commons, nor is there a clear indication of good old-fashioned
copyright (i.e. there's no clear indication the material is owned by
Slim/Logitech.)

I'm definitely not the definitive source on this though.

I would say something more definitive is covered in Wikipedia's
copyright agreement since it uses the same sort of collective-editing
system.  Those agreements are here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights and here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License
Lots of legalese, but essentially:

> That is to say, Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and
> redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to
> others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia article used (a
> direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit
> requirement). Wikipedia articles therefore will remain free forever and
> can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which
> serve to ensure that freedom.

You also have to post the terms of the GFDL, but since that isn't used
in the Slim Devices wiki, maybe not even that.  Again, I'm not a
lawyer.

Another question is, and I mean no offence by this, how many Swedish
users would benefit?  :-)
