It’s incredible that some governments think they "own" the language(s)
mainly spoken in their country: fi.wikipedia.org is in Finnish but not
related to Finland (non-Finnish people could visit fi.wikipedia.org, and
Finnish people could visit other language Wikipedias). And it’s sad if
they attack volunteers for a technical work, that would sound like the
DGSE affair.

Hi,
I just got a message that the Finnish Police have asked the
fi.wikipedia,
by sending an email to the wikifi-ad...@list.wikimedia.org, to give a
written statement about their possible violation of the laws that
regulate
fundraising in Finland. There is a little news about this already
online in
English. Here:
http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2014/02/07/finnish_police_probe_wikipedia_donation_requests
I chat about this with a lawyer friend and he was afraid that the police
msy go after the volunteers that have participated in the fundraising,
e.g.
by translating the fundraising messages.
Is there any equivalent cases from other countries?
In Finland one needs a pre-given permission to do fundraising.
