This copyright issue was [A]lready brought up to his attention in 2 April 2007 and since then, Barat has been careful to adhere to Wikipedia's copyright policy. As User:ReyBrujo had commented before, Barat can qualify for administrator if he contributes original content (which he has). --Jose77 23:57, 11 9-Ay 2007 (UTC)

The Wikia creation policy states that Wikia will not be created if the content would fork the content of Wikipedia or its sister projects. However, wikis that make use of Wikipedia content in a way that Wikipedia would not allow may be permitted. Content can be shared between Wikipedia and Wikia since both are licensed under the GFDL. Please see Wikipedia:Copyrights for details on how to use Wikipedia's content here.

Wikipedia is a free, open content online encyclopedia created through the collaborative effort of a community of users known as Wikipedians. Anyone registered on the site can create an article for publication; registration is not required to edit articles. The site's name comes from wiki, a server program that enables anyone to edit Web site content through their Web browser.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in Wikipedia; much of the time you will. However, Wikipedia cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given article may recently have been changed, vandalized or altered by someone whose opinion does not correspond with the state of knowledge in the relevant fields.

The project wrote its own wiki software called MediaWiki, the sort of "guts" of Wikipedia that make it a dynamic wiki capable of producing its contents through the interactions of its users. It was released under the GPL, permitting anyone to copy it and to modify it freely.
