- neilk 16y agoWikipedia's Terms of Use basically just guide you to act in a manner compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution / Share-Alike license, as well as the earlier GFDL license. (I am not a lawyer, probably there are significant additions, that's just my take on it). http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use Facebook could have scraped Wikipedia without asking, but as it happens, there is an agreement in place. I happen to work at the WMF, but don't ask me for more details, I'm not that privy to them. This thread might help. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/194087 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/194087
