Would something like this not require that the $100 Million worth of copyrights in this case be assigned to WMF or some other foundation that we setup rather than simply released under GFDL or a CC license?
That's exactly right.
Further, if we end up creating some sort of copyright holding foundation, might it also be worthwhile to make it easy for contributers to assign their copyrights to WMF if they desire? This is I think only interesting in a dual-licensing type of setup, or am I missing something?
For the Wikipedias it's too late to be useful. For commons, why not?
