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