The license mandates that the authors be listed in a section entitled
History, not that you keep a redirect to the page which contains the
full edit history.  If you'd like me to create an appropriate section
entitled History on the pages where things have been copied I can do
that, but I seriously doubt it's going to stick.

Anyway, the info is at [[User:Anthony/DBC]].  Move it somewhere, link
from the talk pages, and at least the "spirit of the license" or
whatever you want to call it can be fulfilled.  Although, the special
characters didn't translate right.  Someone should look into that.  I
nominate you, Bryan.
