I won't make any down payment, but I'd most likely be willing to sign such a contract. Have Danny send me the details.
The down payment would be needed for the costs in making sure the contract is done right it would be a right mess if you backed out at the last minute. I can't really believe in your offer if you aren't prepared to send a few thousand for the initial costs, not considering how much this /could/ cost.
It *could* cost a lot, however my guess is that it *would* cost nothing. I guess I'd put up a few thousand if it could go into an interest bearing money market account for a couple years while we see that this guy's bluff is just that - a bluff.
But anyway, that's between you and the foundation. I suggest you write to them and see if they have enough faith in your offer to take you up on it.
It's your idea, why don't you set it up?
If Wikimedia really did want indemnification then they'd get the guy to send a DMCA takedown notice and pass it on. Indemnification is part of the DMCA putback procedure.
