"For us, point 1 is covered by ToU - Nemo"
But my understanding is Tou (7 g) is only applicable for Wikimedian who contribute their own works. We have so many third party uploads and they all must meet exact license terms.

So do we have a responsibility to
educate the contributors than misusing their ignorance in such cases?
The three points you raise are legally untested in most countries and even CC's FAQ is not legal advice. For us, point 1 is covered by ToU, but for 2 and 3 it would be inappropriate to have a ghost CC FAQ, while giving legal advice is out of question.
The licensing tutorial shown by UploadWizard can certainly be improved in some way, please propose tweaks: https://commons.wikimedia. org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Commons_licensing_tutorial In general however, rather than controversial edge cases, it's better to focus the little licensing outreach we manage to have on the really crucial aspects/mission, in particular how copyleft/-SA is the way while -NC and -ND generally do the opposite of what folks expect. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_knowledge_based_on_ Creative_Commons_licenses
