I'm going to disagree with this claim. Are you suggesting that in order to write an article about a living person, a reporter would need their license to do so? If not, then by an editor submitting an article on a person to Wikipedia, they are de facto granting license to reuse that content per our terms.

By submitting, using their true names, they are granting us the license to use their true names per our terms.

How could we interpret any of that differently? It seems like a hodge-podge. Any content submit, is being submit under a free reuse license.
