The license is share alike 3.0, the reasons we need advice is because we 
are using modified/derived version (the clause in the legal FAQ starts 
"Unmodified media..."). Specifically, we built a lucene index with 5000 
wikipedia articles relating to medicine. Each article is modified by 
reducing it to list of words and their counts in that article. Is there 
some advice on whether this sort of modification is allowable or whether 
it disqualifies?
