If this 'Taken from AUB official site http://www.aub.edu.lb ( Copyrights reserved )' is true, then this page is a copyright violation. Can the person who copied this page from there confirm whether or not they have permission to use it? Morwen 20:57, Feb 15, 2004 (UTC)
- AUB official site states clearly in its copyrights page the following:
"Permission to copy or disseminate all or part of the materials on the AUB Web is granted if the following conditions are met:
- copies are not made or distributed for commercial advantage
- the AUB copyright and its date appear on the reproduced materials notice is given that copying is by permission of AUB
- For some materials, it may be necessary to obtain additional copyright permission from the author(s).
- To disseminate otherwise, or to republish, requires written permission."
I think that the conditions are met here so we can post the informaiton on the AUB site. read more on http://www.aub.edu.lb/aub_files/copyright.html and

- I'm afraid that's incompatible with the Wikipedia licence, which allows commercial use. Morwen 14:18, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)
- (comment repeated from my talk page) It looks like the copyright on the earlier text is not compatable with GFDL as is; see: Wikipedia:Copyrights. We already have an external link to there anyway. You might wish to summerize some of the key points in your own words for the article. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 18:07, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
