Licensing of content based on the Wikipedia?

A company (HearPlanet) MP3 audio offers a guide as the iPhone, which is Wikipedia read by a robot voice. If I understand that all works within Wikipedia must be released under the same license.Therefore my question: I can strip and redistribute the content again (with wikipedia reference) or make HearPlanet obtain copyright for the content of the food in your autoplay software free?

(Note: I am not a lawyer, I have not seen an answer for this.) Both must be true. HearPlanet, running through their readers becomes a copyright on the content they produce. Since the audio content from Wikipedia licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), however, the sound must be licensed under the GFDL. As (Automatically) under GFDL, which should be able to copy and redistribute more, but you must credit * The two authors of Wikipedia and HearPlanet * For the record. That said, some cross-references HearPlanet Terms of Use (<http://hearplanet.com/terms>) is not cast in a small mud for obvious reasons, they say copyright on their work in general. In particular, the following sentence could be problematic: "Society may be content from other sources but is protected by copyright as a collective work and compilation or copyright laws of the United States, international conventions and other intellectual property laws. "I I'm not sure how the rules would apply to compilations, but probably not a problem for individual records. It probably does not mean much given the note Repeated exceptions (eg, "other than those permitted by the laws of intellectual property" or "content supplied by third parties may be separate license (s) "). HearPlanet not have the copyright content from Wikipedia and the GFDL is quite explicit that additional restrictions be added to content. HearPlanet is certainly possible, however, based on conditions of use, to terminate your service at any time for any reason. EDIT: thekohser It is true that, under the GFDL, which is to the authors to be paid. Minor omissions I have to look like that. So I updated my reply to read "Encyclopedia Authors ", where he had read" Wikipedia ". On the same subject, Wikipedia later this year is expected to pass similar but Commons License Attribution-Share initial single, in which case the allocation for each link can be acceptable.
