That's an extremely good idea. Only one problem: I believe that there
are patent issues around captchas. Not saying that Wikipedia couldn't
get a patent license, but it'd have to stay out of the distributed
MediaWiki code.
LiveJournal uses CAPTCHA and I'm not aware that they are paying any
licenses for that. Knowing Brad, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have done
it if that had been necessary.
