A more marginal case would be someone who hasn't
suddenly decided they
don't want to play any more (like our original, *but* has just
realised that the GFDL or a Creative Commons license wasn't quite what
they thought it was.
This is a real-life circumstance. Such cases always have to be dealt
with individually, and not being a dick about it is important. People
just don't get these licenses. We've had people reach admin on en:wp
without understanding that they're supposed to have licensed the work
irrevocably for the whole world and not just Wikimedia.
At some point in this, it goes from being reasonable
to unreasonable,
and I don't think we can draw a general line very easily - it really
does boil down to whether or not the person seems like they're being
silly.
We have to start with the assumption they're not being.
