Besides the legal issues: Never force someone to contribute his 
(home-)work under a free license to Wikimedia projects. This will cause 
a lot of rejection like we had seen in a single case in German wikipedia 
where pupils "were forced" to contribute to Wikipedia. This caused a lot 
of trouble inside the community.

Bye, Tim.
