Trouble is, even if you NOINDEX so it can't find it in google, they 
could
still find it in the wikipedia or via inbound links.

So, although, the proposal could (at best) conceivably improve things, 
it
would ultimately solve nothing.>>

And I would like to add that anyone could simply repost the 
information, point at the Wikipedia article as the source, obeying the 
GFDL considerations effectively eliminating any benefit from Noindex.  
Which basically is what mirrors accomplish anyhow.

Any mirror can repost any manually crawled content without regard to 
Noindex.  Noindex is not a requirement that anyone is bound to obey.
