I was browsing the web and found this page, this page called Space of LabVIEW has scraped the LabVIEW wiki pages and created blog postst for every page. This is in my opinion a violation of the creative commons version we use state

What kind of action should we take? Report it to blogspot?

I agree, but it will have to be the owner of the labviewwiki.org domain that files the complaint... or perhaps everybody that posted some information on the wiki can file a complaint? Anyway, here's what blogger.com says about copyright issues.

Hi Francois,

I have contacted someone on Facebook that has this page as his 'website' asking him to add the notion of the source of the info.

It seems the author removed the content. It must have seemed like a good idea to get many Google Ads clicks with few efforts.
