Given the fuss over the copyright status of Tweets I think that it would be
prudent
to have a licence and original author in every tweet, otherwise reusing the
content would be problematic.
Ted Nelson wanted a flexible licensing model for transcluding content
allowing a
spectrum of usage from free to paid-for - but this sounds pretty
complicated to me.
Keeping an edit trail for each tiddler might not be too space consuming -
and would be related to the problem of keeping all old edits - I suspect
the overheads
are rather small since the author and licence will presumably not change
often
