Users come to the site, access it as they wish, and they are asked to make a donation every once in a while. It is not a contribution in the same way as writing an article, but it is still a contribution which is also necessary to keep the project alive.
From what I understand, you are describing the "same condition" which is expressed by the SA in the CC-BY-SA covering Wikipedia, but I might be misinterpreting your text. If not, I would recommend you to read the license. The best asset of our movement is not money donation, but its community which give time and efforts in misc. contributions.
As for the original purpose of the ticket it seems that we will have to wait for legal advice. Or if we want to have it more clear then the WMF could sue WMDE for copyright infringement and see what the court decision would be :-)
No, it's not possible, because WMF don't hold copyright on Wikipedia content, and is actually the entity publishing the possibly infringing copyrighted material.
And even if it would be possible, I personally wouldn't like to see such a move. I agree that it might be interesting in the extent that it would give a clear indication of what is possible or not:
- but I'm not sure of how such a move could be already framed upstream by a contract designed to not harm any party whatever the decision made downstream by an official judgement,
- I'm not sure this would be really great in term of image.
