Mike, well done on finding the "About"! I looked for it and could not find

But surely saying that "Most of the contents are licensed under
CC-BY-SA<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/>"

Is there a mechanism to deal with this sort of thing? Where can I refer it
to for action?
Regards,
Rui
