I don’t know but I only see two possibilities:

A) We find a way to enforce the re-licensing of the derivative works under
the same license.

B) We change the license to a none-commercial one and issue a commercial
license only to WMF.

I don’t feel very happy by releasing my works under a free license if in
practice everybody can reuse my work and exploit it in under a privative
license.
