And let's imagine that someone is willing to pay to Ramman (I think
that I said the right name) and a number of other significant
contributors to sue Wikipedia and that a couple of them is willing to
take the offer. Number of articles only on English Wikipedia may be a
couple of hundreds of thousands.

They also may make a GFDL fork of Wikipedia. Maybe even not to really
build a free encyclopedia, but just to damage it while pretending that
they are really wanting to do so.

There are a couple of more really bad possibilities in that way, which
raises the question: Does anyone really think about the possibility
for really bad consequences?
