Well, actually we don't know it works for us. Our stuff is in early draft, and re-use of text is already making life pretty difficult already (checking for copyvios, notability, and clones in repressive regimes (Baidu Baike) ). We are also causing breaks in attribution chains every time we delete something that is mirrored, and the case law is still patchy to say the least.
By "works", I mean that Wikipedia is the great big unignorable case of free content working and being good enough to be useful.
And for them to call me. The context is them saying free content is just impossible and me pointing out we're the counterexample.
