You state that material here may be reused "without restrictions" -- unfortnately, that's not true of even most free content material, which generally comes a license which imposes (a very few) restrictions on re-use; mostly restrictions that ensure the free content remains free.
You definitely need to define the default licence for Wipi contributions. At the moment, you are using a large amount of Wikipedia content, so I suggest you use the GNU Free Documentation Licence by default, which is the one Wikipedia uses.
This will have two advantages:
- you'll be using the Wikipedia material with permission, instead of violating their licence
- It will also be possible to use material from the Wipi into Wikipedia.
This is a win-win, and only requires you to edit a couple of bits of text.

With 'standard' things like information on licenses and what free content is etc., is there any way to incorporate the live informaation from Wikipedia into here even without it being in a template (actually, I'm not even sure how to incorporate a Wikipedia template into here)? Rather than copying the text here, it would be much more helpful to have a single source for this kind of thing, reflecting the content here automatically (presumably protected) but with this media's shell around it.

Thanks Algo, that was definitely our intention. I have modified the About Wipipedia to reflect this.
