Presents an interesting problem doesn't it?
*Who* actually has standing?
I contributed 12 words to the Henry the VIII article. Is that enough to
give me standing? And would any of the minor authors care?
In the long run, it my opinion, that no one is actually going to care how
the content is used with or without the license, enough, to actually hire a
lawyer. Of course someone could *mention* to those who take the content that
they should really post a back-link and a license notation at least. I've
done that in a few cases.
I think it would need someone (the WMF, a local chapter, some other
interest organisation) to offer to represent the content owners.
