Dear NationMaster.

I have noticed that you are redistributing content that I have written for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is licensed for redistribution under the terms of the GFDL, however I believe that you are not complying with that license.

The GFDL expressly forbids the setting of additional permissions or restrictions on the content. Two sections of your terms and conditions fail this basic test:

"You may not use any robot, spider or any automated or manual device to monitor or copy any aspect of this site (including content) without the NationMaster.com prior permission"

"You are permitted to quote no more than 20 individual figures (eg. US GDP per capita, Andorran life expectancy, etc) or lines of text from this site, provided you provide a link back to a valid page at NationMaster.com"

You should either remove these sections, or else reword them so that it is clear they do not apply to content taken from Wikipedia.

Further, you have modified the text in two ways: (1) seperating the GFDL notice from the rest of the text and placing it in an unreadably small text, and (2) removing the text "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". This places additional requirements on you, as detailed in section 4 of the GFDL. You can avoid these requirements by reversing these modifications.


The above text is public domain.

No, I'm not sending this yet. But this is the approach I want to take.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
