the fact that 'London' is called 'Londres' in Frech is rather un-creative
@Denny: Where is this reductionism getting you? You can pick one simple example at a time and entirely miss the point. When you have, say, 20,000 English terms that are translated to 20,000 French terms, and not all of the mappings are as obvious or as one-to-one as the name of a major world city, that is a work that people created. It's not an authorless happenstance. It's not a "monkey selfie" as Tgh so insultingly put it.
The fact that it's expressed as one Wikipedia page being the same as another doesn't make it authorless. That data came from inter-language links that were originally created on Wikipedia, and translation templates that were originally created on Wiktionary, all of which were entered by specific authors, under the CC-By-SA license.
It seems that the entire point of this reductionist handwaving is to find an excuse to not follow the CC-By-SA license.
Consider the case of importing bulk data from someplace outside of Wikimedia, which the legal team already gave a very clear ruling on, linked repeatedly in this thread: you can't do it unless the data is totally free. The "but it's just facts" argument has already been deemed insufficent. Why would that argument work against Wikipedia or Wiktionary when it doesn't work against OpenStreetMap?
