First, we all agree (it seems to me) that provenance is valuable. However, having something in law (or contract) effectively criminalizes if you fail to add the provenance. Is that what you really wish? Do you want to be able to legally punish people if the fail to give provenance? Honestly, that sounds a bit harsh to me... and to me, and this is a personal opinion and not an argument, I think Wikidata is more open, more inclusive than that: Wikidata offers carrots, not sticks.
