If there is any uncertainty regarding if having a fair use quotes is in conflict with GFDL for us, or for others, one safe way, it seems, is to declare something like the following: All Wikipedia contents are available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. This includes all the texts and images except for the following. - Images hosted in other servers than wikipedia's own. They may appear as if part of Wikipedia contents, but they are not. Therefore, you should contact the owner of the image regarding its copyright status. - Images, texts, and other contents hosted in Wikipedia server(s) under fair use or similar justifications. They are not part of Wikipedia's contents that are released under GFDL. Your use of these materials based on the terms of GFDL could result in copyright violation. I think this kind of message could be placed on Wikipedia:Copyright , at the bottom of each page, and the download page for Wikipedia's database dumps. Any opinions?
