In this case I don't think there's much choice. The poem is copyrighted and we're not allowed to use it. In general, the problem is our free content policy. We're not allowed to use material when permission has been given to Wikipedia, but not to the world. There's no way that Niemoller's heirs would consent to the poem being used to advertise fast food, and they probably wouldn't even let it be used for political causes they disagree with. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
