Wikipedia swatika entry
BBC swastika article

The BBC article is just a condensed version of the Wikipedia entry. Some lines are copied verbatim, like “The British author Rudyard Kipling, who was strongly influenced by Indian culture, had a swastika on the dust jackets of all his books until the rise of Nazism made this inappropriate.” Others are slightly reworded.

I certainly have no problems with information being shared like this, but does this really count as © BBC and/or isn’t it a violation of theGNU Free Documentation License since the modified copy hasn’t been released under the GFDL?
