-----------------
Presents an interesting problem doesn't it?
*Who* actually has standing?
I contributed 12 words to the Henry the VIII article.  Is that enough to 
give me standing?  And would any of the minor authors care?

In the long run, it my opinion, that no one is actually going to care how 
the content is used with or without the license, enough, to actually hire a 
lawyer.  Of course someone could *mention* to those who take the content that 
they should really post a back-link and a license notation at least.  I've 
done that in a few cases.
