Excellent capture here.

Would you consider changing the license to Attribution-No Derivative Works 2.0 Generic ?
So that this could be used in Wikimedia projects.

Thanks for letting me know @calanan. That really rocks!

But it's also interesting that a media organisation pays so little attention to other people's rights, when I'm sure they'd sue anyone using their content :).
