I would be highly suspicious of anyone using text from another web site. If this copy were published, it can also have a negative effect in Google et. al. with the associated problems of duplicate copy.

On my site, for example, you could not use it in a commercial setting, you would have to apply the same license to any derivative works and you would have to attribute within the bounds of the CC license. Dummy copy, especially Lorem Ipsum copy, is copyright free and doesn't have any such restrictions. Much better for testing all elements of a site. Besides, who the heck would want to use this site for dummy copy? I'd imagine most would find lorem ipsum more interesting to boot. Andy,
