However, in [[August]] 2006, Wales issued a "mutually beneficial" compromise [http://www.nabble.com/MyWikiBiz-tf2080660.html] where he encouraged MyWikiBiz to author and post content on a GFDL-compliant section of MyWikiBiz.com, which could then be scraped by non-paid, independent editors into Wikipedia and other GFDL sites. Over the course of late 2006, [[finance|financial]] [[conflict of interest|conflicts of interest]] became regulated under Wikipedia's new conflict of interest policy.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflicts_of_interest]  In [[October]] 2006, despite there being little reason to do so, Wales aggressively reversed his earlier compromise with MyWikiBiz, banning the account from Wikipedia and cautioning any business from using its services.  Days later, Wales issued MyWikiBiz a trademark violation complaint, but the legal threat was ignored, as it had no basis in actual law.
