I agree with your second point -- we could do to make the licence text at the foot of the page a bit clearer.
Like here:
http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk%3ASites_that_use_Wikipedia_for_...
(aka [[Wikipedia_talk:Sites_that_use_Wikipedia_for_content#Suggested_notice]]).
This has been around for a while, but people didn't have much interest when it came to the mailing list (I forget which) in the past.
(Ultimately, we need to get a developer interested, since that footer text is not wiki-editable.)
[Posting to <wikiEN-L> since we could change the text only on [[en:]] -- and we may need to only on [[en:]] if that's all that's being violated. [[fr:]] et al can then copy us if they find it necessary, or desirable; or even do their own thing, within reason.]
