And, seriously, David, the law, as it stands, recognises sweat-of-the-brow. The idea that it doesn't is based on the idea that the European Court *might*, at some point in the future, declare that doctrine invalid.
That's not a legal argument, that's fortune telling.

Dear David,
I'm commenting here because I honestly didn't think Commons could be acting in a manner that required them to actively ignore laws, and thought it highly unlikely that Commons would be actively removing mere requests for credit from works. That Commons apparently is doing both of those is pretty much my limit for trying to engage with Commons.
