== about plagiarism: is it cricket? ==

Firstly, as an enthusiastic newcomer, please excuse me if this is posted to the wrong place

however- the bones

wandering thru' the wiki I found out about the Lab color space, by reading 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space

wanting to find out more, I googled it- and found that the page http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Lab%20color%20space

is an exact copy of the wikipedia page.  I don't know who was first- but is plagiarism considered cricket?

:Richard, nope, plagiarism's not cricket. :-)  But we release all materials here under the [[GFDL]].  In simple terms, that means anyone can use the materials for essentially any purpose, as long as they credit us, and as long as their work is released under the GFDL.  There are more details about it in the footer, I think, also.  The site you've noted copies all our articles, and attaches advertising -- in small print at the bottom of the page, they credit us under the terms of the GFDL.  You can find out about more such sites at [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks]]. [[User:Jwrosenzweig|Jwrosenzweig]] 16:13, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
