Hm, I'm afraid that is not sufficient. :-) It's CC-BY-SA.
*Surely* the NPG should be able to figure out that by doing this, they're leaving themselves wide open to copyright suits from all the hundreds of thousands of smart, motivated geeks who HIT THE GODDAMN ROOF when they sent that legal threat. They've so far scraped through on other people not being the sort of arseholes they were, but I find it difficult to picture how they've considered that a safe policy going forward.

Unfortunately, my legal action fund won't stretch to it. However, I suspect a press release from WMF or even the UK chapter should do the trick.
A press release is only one step before actually filing court papers. A friendly chat (which Liam is doing now) comes first and then comes a firmly worded letter from a solicitor. We shouldn't even be considering press releases at this stage, they would do more harm than good.
