I am going to suggest the heretical proposition that we have everything to gain by changing our licensing so export to them under their present policies (or some attainable modification of them) is interpreted as being within our license, even if it allows the creation of unfree derivatives, and accepts a link to a Wikipedia article as adequate author designation for previously contributed content. (I am aware of the difficulties in making the transition)
The principle I suggest is that the increase in freely accessible content is more important that the principle of libre publication--that we are more likely to add to the existing structure of publication in the world than to replace it.
