I am glad I got the discussion going then: you now have one concrete example to look at (or maybe two? you did not comment on PMC). I think it is fair to say that this is not exactly an isolated case (but I am surprised that you seem to (pretend) not to know? Maybe for legal reasons?) How do you think these problematic uploads should be treated? If there a drift between the practices of the community and the rules of the project, that problem should be solved.
My impression is that the references I added on these statements fulfill the attribution requirement of the license (or at least the spirit of it). But I am not a lawyer. The curators of the database are aware of the import and seem quite happy with it. In general I think many open data producers do not expect that requiring attribution would be a significant hurdle for reuse. (In this particular case, they were aware of Wikidata before - they actually have a bunch of Qids in their dataset.)
