Many people don't give a damn about copyright on the net, and will probably just copy your material without paying much attention to your disclaimer. But the Honest Guys may be discouraged from using your stuff. A less tight copyright claim would also raise the chances of someone copying parts of your texts into Wikipedia articles on different subjects (people usually give credit to such loans in the reference sections of the W-article).

I also appreciate Thomas' remark; it is perhaps something we could or should have considered but having relatively little previous experience on the web didn't. Would it change how people use the material from the website, though? Thank you all for the positive comments!

The only thing that is a little disappointing, in my view, is the tight copyright: "No part of this website may be reproduced, in any form or by any means, without the prior written permission of the authors (for text and design)". The authors have done a marvellous job and wouldn't really loose anything by offering their work under less strict copyright terms, for example under a Creative Commons license (except for parts of the site where they use others' copyrighted material, of course). Not even Wellcome Trust use to apply such tight copyright, e.g., Wellcome Images can be used freely for scholarly and non-commercial purposes under a CC license. Hi Søren,
