We have published hundreds of thousands of their "citations" at download.wikimedia.org. Inside the very same dataset (and in this thread) you can find scripts for converting these "citations" into the very collection that they explicitly claim copyright to. If WMF's lawyer is willing to step in and say that we are not infringing their copyright, that's one thing, but in the meantime they explicitly claim that we are and you are not a lawyer. IMHO there are plausible arguments in favor of the CAS position that you are not considering.

When I cite you, I do not ask nor do I require your permission to so do. Not only don't I require it, but if you complain, I'll just cite your complaint as well so everyone can see how foolish you're being :)
