What can Creative Commons or Wikimedia do in these cases? They aren't
the rights holders, so even if they wanted to they couldn't sue. And
if they could sue, they couldn't afford it. Legal remedies are
available to the folks whose work is included, but I think generally
speaking they may not have much motivation or means. Wikipedia content
is reused all across the web and in print without the type of
attribution required by the GFDL - this is nothing new.
