[WikiEN-l] Knol - Our first major scandel

[WJhonson at aol.com]

I, along with seven other co-authors, write an article on say.... Cheese 
Whiz.  In the article we state that anyone may copy the article, provided that 
they state where they got it from, and that the article may be copied by 
anyone else provided that they state where they got it from...

Can I alone bring a lawsuit against anyone else copying the article without 
stating where they got it from?  Since the article is not exactly 
*copyright* I would say it's freely licensed under one condition.  Does this really 
fall under copyright law?  Or would it be more in the way of a standard 
contract?

There is an explicit contract that you cannot copy this unless you state 
it's origin.  Do I have to show actual financial damages?  Who is going to 
want to be the first to test the water?  That's the real issue.  If you lose, 
you still have to pay your own lawyer.

Will
