So let's step back for a second. There is a claim
that the legal code
of CC-BY-SA cannot be reconciled with the notion of attributing via
URL-linkback only. Do you agree that this claim is false? If the claim
is false, then surely it is possible to create terms and conditions
for a website under which authors contribute under such a model. If it
is possible, then the final question is whether the current proposed
terms for the edit page satisfy those conditions. I contend that they
do, because they are sufficiently clear about the intended
consequences (we don't need to spell out in detail how the terms and
conditions relate to the license, as long as it's possible for them to
relate to the license in a way that is logical and consistent).
Again you miss the point. Wikipedia has 293,896,584 edits that were
not released under those TOS.
