Actually, I kept talking to the Billboard rep, and he says he's willing to work out a cashless deal if we can send them traffic (which, as far as I know, we already do through the external links). We may not have to delete anything at all.
Such a license would be unacceptable to Wikipedia.
What if it were simply an agreement that Billboard would not sue so long as they were cited as a source? That isn't a content licence, just an agreement to cite sources.
Which we do anyway.
This seems like more of Billboard's way of saving face than what could be considered a licence agreement.
Naturally, as normal, IANAL. Thank goodness.
