We ask for copyright so that "We" can do what we like with a submitted 
article, but don't take exclusive copyright - so the author is free to do 
what he likes with the article. That seems to be the fairest way of dealing 
with many authored publications. It is what I ask for with DiverseBooks.com 
submissions too though I don't always shove legalise at people.

I thought, however, that linking to was better than copying? Didn't I read 
that in the Wiki etiquette?

  If there is a good reason, perhaps the text should be changed to say "Five most recent changes".
