Hi all. I like to request your opinion to re-use some parts of the contents from this wiki.

I am working on an open-source business software licensed under GPL Version 3, called tryton[1]. The target of our software is to have an application framework for small and mid-sized companies usable all around the world. The business-related nature of the project is sometimes a quite boring.

I searched a long time for some nice success story scenario to provide demo data for our product. First I found a product portfolio from the ACME company from Disney's Donald Duck, which was a great story in their days. But to be honest, the Donald Duck scenario, nowadays feels a kind of boring, to me. (Sorry for this).

Most fortunately I found this wiki about one of my favorite serials, Futurama. It includes everything I need to setup a real cool demo company with employees, products, competitors, persons, places. And the most important, it includes a textual story all around this. The clue with death factual demo data for a financial application is, to have a background story for the data. The http://theinfosphere.org provides me with short textual information about a living company with personal actors and interesting products behind. I am not sure if someone is interested in this background story stuff, but who cares?

What do you think, can I re-use 'your' contents to setup a demo data set for the Planet Express, inc?

My main problem is, that I can maybe not put a source link on every single quote from the wiki. But there are many places where I can put a link to the source (Product description, Company URL, etc.)

Do you know if I need to request others for using terms or trademarks used in the world of Futurama (Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, VOX...)?

 * This is not my department, but... I don't see what's wrong with that. However, if you want to use part of the Planet Express article, I'd recommend you to wait a little, or, even better, contribute, 'cause it still needs some improvement. You'll really have to wait for the admins' thoughts, though. San Saber 21:06, 12 October 2010 (CEST)


 * Yes, sounds good to me. I think I will refer to the Planet Express page with a link from the enterprise setup in Tryton. So if someone is interested in the planet express home page, he will be pointed to this URL in his favorite browser. I find the given intro-text is quite good for this aim. --Udono 22:14, 12 October 2010 (CEST)

 * Providing a link to your wiki is my goal. I hate duplicated contents, so for me it is better to put a link instead of maintaining a copy of contents from this wiki. --Udono 22:31, 12 October 2010 (CEST)
 * In addition to your question, the answer is probably not. I am not entirely familiar with the exact rules regarding trademarks, but I think you are safe.  Unless you are using their content and not making a disclaimer about it, like we do. --Sviptalk 21:53, 12 October 2010 (CEST)
 * Hopefully a disclaimer will be enough. Did you receive any feedback in the legal sense? --Udono 22:31, 12 October 2010 (CEST)
