oops, one more thing: It appears that for pages collected using the
bookmarklet, license information is not recorded or included. I don't
particularly want a copy of the GFDL any more than references, but a
notice to that effect would be nice.

*looks at the API*
hm... bizarrely, I don't see the license info being one of the API
parameters. Did I miss it or is it a bug?
