Noticed your summary of your edit of the INTERCAL article. I'm afraid we can't copy-and-paste Wikipedia material here. The Wikipedia uses the GNU Free Documentation License, which is mutually incompatible with the Creative Commons (attribution-sharealike variant) license we use here. We can't reuse GFDL material without additional explicit permission from the original copyright holders. In the case of the Wikipedia INTERCAL article, those copyright holders are very numereous, and some of them are anonymous. Getting permission from them simply isn't practical.

A bit of a bugger, but our hands are tied. I'm afraid I'm going to have to delete the article, which we'll resurrect until such time as we can roll our own, or come across a piece of license-compatible existing documentation that we can build on. Just remember to be careful about copyrights when incorporating copyrighted text into this wiki, or any, wiki. Don't worry about it this time - just about everybody makes that mistake sooner or later. Crazyeddie 05:05, Mar 20, 2005 (EST)
