Hello Andreas,

The original version of our article XGAM-71 Buck Duck is a blatant copyright violation of your page on the same subject. I have rewritten it substantially and think I have eliminated all copyright issues. If you would like me to delete the older revisions as copyright violations, I will gladly do so.

Thank you, Karl! I don't think it's necessary to delete the old versions of the "Buck Duck" article. In the past, I've seen a few verbatim copies of my articles on Wikipedia (don't remember which ones), and didn't care a lot about it (mostly my website was listed as a reference anyway). In fact, I'm a fan of the whole Wikipedia project, and use it a lot as a "customer" while essentially not contributing anything at all. To make good for this "read only" behavior, I don't mind if the copyright notice on my webpages is interpreted a bit loosely ;-) by wiki authors.
