All we need now is for a copyright/trademark holder (like Hanks Pediatric Eye Charts[1], concurrently listed for sale[2] and as a copyright violation for speedy deletion[3]) to get their nose out of joint and we're at #3 without any conspiring whatsoever. I'll put it another way for you: Can anyone guarantee that the French chapter are not offering copyrighted and/or trademarked material for sale, (indirectly) for profit? It's amazing that people are carrying on about relicensing work that authors intended to be free while turning a blind eye to commercial use of protected IP.
