Would not it be more expedient to ask for a non-exclusive general license to be transferred to Wikimedia Foundation
As our pro bono lawyer, we'll trust you about the right way to phrase it. If "non-exclusive general license" is right, then let's do that!

Good, we want this.
while giving Wikimedia enough power to prevent infringement by third parties and to create any variations of open source licenses or copyleft licences in the future.
Good, we want this too.
