Have you seen the "Wikimedia License Texts" pesudo-extension on translatewiki? I think that might be at least similar to, if not the same thing as, what you're talking about.
The link to the "en-gb" version of these messages (it won't list them on just en because it's the source) is: http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&task=view&group=ext-wikimedialicensetexts&language=en-gb&limit=500
