Cool. I hope to see it featured on the Wikidata main page. Also, since the article is a few months old, and much progress has been made since then, I think it would be great to have a paragraph on the main page that introduces the article and serves as an addendum. The link to the article could be placed in that paragraph.
I'm excited about the future of Wikidata and the semantic access to Wikimedia content it increasingly enables.

Good. I have officially released the article text under this license now:

Glad you liked it. Checking the Wikidata item, I notice that it is actually Open Access and not "all rights reserved". It is available for free ("forever") from the ACM [1], but it seems they do not define any license. However, as we have retained all the rights, we can do what we like there.
Denny, shall we use CC-BY?
