Where does it forbid them? The most related part is section 5. I understand that doing queries at bot rate may be against #5.3 but I don't see anything against this. Unlike searches, the book OCR result will be cached, so this shouldn't be inconvenience them (and they don't place ads there!). I'd wikify the html instead of just moving to plain text, though. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
