We need to determine the licensing details of the wikipedia sample data which we utilize for the quickstart tutorials and a handful of tests. Depending on the outcome of this we will either need to adjust LICENSE and/or NOTICE files, or in the worst case, replace it with something else. See 0.15.1 IPMC vote thread for the discussion that instigated this issue.

It was collected in 2015 from an IRC channel which was effectively an API of sorts for the wikipedia 'edit stream' before it had its current HTTP based API, and is referenced in the docs for the current API here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Recent_changes_stream.

Since this is metadata about wikipedia content I would naively suspect it would fall under the wikipedia licensing terms for text contributions which is Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content, which i think falls under category b if true which as I understand means binary only distribution but might be a bit of a grey area based on how we are using it strictly for documentation and testing? I think maybe means we need to open a ticket with legal to determine if we can distribute it and how we need to label if so, or clear signal that we need to remove it and find an alternative if not.
