I aren't a lawyer (though my uncle is one), nor do I have a private
connection into Mikes brainbox, but...

The way I see the contract everyone makes when they choose to
edit wikipedia, is that they search within their heart whether their
prior obligations are such that they permit or disallow them to edit
according to our customs, practises and the implicit rules for editing
wikipedia. The no "legal threats on-site" is part and parcel of that.
For each and very editor to see if they can abide by it. It is an
individual calculation for each editor, not something that automatically
derives from what IP they hail from.
