You are citing a proposed bill from 2003-04 that never made it to the floor for a vote. To the more general point, I would personally argue that Feist v. Rural [1] applies to the dumps and the selection / arrangement is ineligible for copyright. Hence, in my opinion, there is no copyright for the dump as a whole, though the individual articles in contains are certainly eligible for copyright. -Robert Rohde [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_Publications_v._Rural_Telephone_Service _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
