Untitled[edit]

If this book is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License would it not be possible to have it in the wiki nettwork? Under Wikipedia or maybe Wikibooks. If that is possible, why not?

Yes, it would be possible, however wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free text repository. For that kind of thing, have a look at http://wikisource.org/ . --fvw * 22:13, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)

Not under wikibooks either since it's supposed to host free textbooks, not free biographies. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 15:51, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

Added archive https://archive.is/20130218140020/http://www.vita.it/news/view/13544 to http://www.vita.it/news/view/13544

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
