Wikipedia considers each Wikipedia article to be an individual document. Moreover, for the purposes of creating derivative works of individual Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia considers a direct link-back to a particular Wikipedia article as being in full compliance with the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA), provided your derivative work is also licensed under CC-BY-SA.

Most (but not all) of our articles can also be reused under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). See Wikipedia:Copyrights#Reusers' rights and obligations for how to identify text which is not available under the GFDL.

How much storage is required for a copy of the English Wikipedia?

The data dump of all pages and their histories is a several-gigabyte file, which according to the warnings about decompression size at the database download page, could theoretically decompress to at least a terabyte. Paul Swanson's How to Mirror Wikipedia, however, suggests a much more modest size. The images on Commons amount to several terabytes; see Commons:Commons:MIME type statistics; but not all of these will be needed, and it is possible to use a script to only get the files that are referenced in Wikipedia articles. Alternatively you can now use InstantCommons. Wikipedia itself had about 420 GB of images as of 2008.
