But does our license then force them to put a link on every
article that they have copied from the original site?
No, what the licence does say is that,
1) They can't use the name Wikipedia without permission, i.e. they
have to rename.
2) They can't remove the name of the authors of articles, in the
case of anonymous articles, this might mean they have to attribute
Wikipedia.
But in Wikipedia articles aren't necessarily anonymous; there's a
history that describes who wrote what.
I was referring to people who hadn't logged in rather then wikipedia as a whole.
That's why it was suggested
that a link to the original article (and thereby its history) could
replace the list of original authors.
