Using Wikipedia content and photos in an iPhone application. How to proceed?
I've started an iPhone application, it's a location specific reference, and I'd like to use both info and photos from Wikipedia in addition to my own content. My questions related to this are:
a) Can I charge for this app. My understanding is that yes, I can.
b) What licenses do I have to use or would suite me best?
c) Can I attribute separate licenses based on content?
d) Do I have to notify anyone?
e) What are the risks or what else should I be considering?
