[edit] Terms

Definitely see http://www.toonopedia.com/terms.htm regarding the use of Toonopedia material. Simply put, Wikipedia can't use it at all. --Geopgeop 06:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

No. The use of Toonopedia original material (i. e., the articles) is what is being talked about ("re-publishing"). Wikipedia's use is covered by section 9, where linkage permission is given. Wikipedia is basically giving Toonopedia free advertising. There might be an issue about the use of the Toonopedia logo, but my friend who is a copyright attorney, says fair-usage probably covers that. CFLeon 21:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
