https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Orokusaki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/WalterTross If they agree to provide a better license, the outstanding issue is the IP that made a modification for compatibility reasons: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luhn_algorithm&action=historysubmit&diff=383426059&oldid=382607308 IMO there is no copyright in that edit, as it merely applies a well known transform to the code.
