I remember bringing this up several years ago at Dutch Wikipedia, and

what I recall, there were people that don't want the import function to

active on their wiki for more fundamental reasons (they don't want old versions to exist that were not created on their own wiki).
Does that mean that they don't want to give proper attribution when they use others' work?
Some people in several Wikimedia wikis think that importing versions is necessary for attribution for legal reasons. As far as I know, it isn't. I don't know what is the origin of this idea. I never saw a legal text that require this. The Wikimedia Terms of Use say that a hyperlink to the original in the edit summary is sufficient.
