Is there a Counsel we can refer this to?
Yes. :) This was already on my radar, and I am following this discussion (which has been useful; specifically, I did not know about the bug already filed on the issue).
For those of you who don't know me, I'm new to the foundation, but have been around foss and foss licensing for a while; a good backgrounder on me is here: http://www.mail-archive.com/wikimediaannounce-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg00523...

The licensing information is on the page itself, of which the minified js winds up a part. For every file or other object that makes up the page to all contain the licensing information would be pretty unusual.
It's like taking a file out of a page and then complaining that it has no licensing information when said information was in the page text right under it.

I think that determination needs to be made by Counsel, not on a guess.
I've quite some knowledge of copyright myself, and I know enough that the matter is subtle enough that this declaration is, at best, an oversimplification that cannot possibly reflect reality.
Agreed, but even without legal training it's pretty clear this is a requirement. Quoting from CC-BY-SA:
You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for,
this
License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. [...] ou must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties.
And then in the GPL:
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
Later in the license it specifies that also binary forms of the work
that
are conveyed must also comply with these restrictions.
