I was under the impression that the WMF does hold a copyright over the entirety of a particular Wikipedia as they offer that collection for download. And re-users often use these dumps as seeds for their "illegal" re-use.
IANAL, but I think you need to have had a creative input in the work to hold a copyright to it, what creative input has WMF had is combining all the articles into one dump?
