Creative Commons and Fair Use at Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a page on how they handle Fair Use on their wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use
I believe that they also offer their content under a (different) Creative Commons license, though obviously their situation is different, so this is posted only to help people start thinking about these issues.
