I'm sure it's a fascinating legal haggle which could net millions for a bunch of lawyers somewhere. But I don't think it really helps us move forward, I'm happy it's all free culture and that the license has been made firm. That's what's required so people know what they're contributing to. Although I can't find anything about transferring copyright of wiki page content; The copyright Canonical on every ubuntu website is brow-furrowing. But then again, I don't really care too much as it's been fixed in this instance.
