Sure. But what is going to happen to that page? Will someone
definitely make it some kind of official submission? Because if we're
talking amongst ourselves about the flaws but those discussions never
reach the FSF then that's kind of a problem. :)

Incidentally I wonder if it is not worth having a separate licenses-l
or copyright-l list for Wikimedia. A lot of this discussion is highly
technical and not necessarily of interest to other subscribers who are
interested in Commons. The scope of such discussions is also wider
than the Commons community.
