I think you are precisely inaccurate on this point. Quite the contrary. I seriously feel that the part where Anthony is taking on all comers, is masking the fact that there is a serious shift underway in the way WMF is operating. WMF used to really be a (choose a heavy-weight designation) pound gorilla in the GFDL users pool. When we transition to the Creative Commons universe, we will never again regain that status, and a combative stance will do us no favors. So at the very minimum, it would well serve us to know what the established standards are within CC-BY-SA, in particular focusing on the "BY" part.
