See [1] for API Etiquette.
As for restriction on usage, that depends on which wiki you get the information
from. Every MediaWiki install has a footer. If the MediaWiki install is
publicly licensed it will contain a copyright/license note.
Wikipedia, for example, says:
"Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike[2]
