Regardless; why are we being such dicks? As diametrically opposed to copyright as some of us are, it genuinely doesn't hurt anyone for those works to be tagged CC-BY-SA. They can still be reused widely, Adam gets credit for his hard work, and everyone is happy.
Someone proposed such a tag on Commons for the NPG images (PD in US, CC-by or whatever elsewhere), and supporters happened to include me and DCoetzee, but quite a lot of people strenuously objected. (I don't have a link to hand.) But I'm sure Adam's diplomatic skills will convince people the proposal should be resurrected.
