IANAL but instead could the WMF legal folks contact Facebook to ask them to
make their terms compatible with CC-BY-SA and CC-BY licenses? I would
rather have FB change then ask our users to change permissions. FB would
gain commercially from the views of
WM content on their site, meaning that FB has a commercial incentive to
change that WMF Legal could mention when discussing the situation with FB.
