Evan pointed out a response to an email he wrote to the Creative Commons 
people about the problems that Wikitravel is having due to the fact that the 
CC by-sa copyleft license is not compatible with the GNU FDL copyleft 
license.

I think we should draft a similar letter to the GNU people and for us to work 
on a Lessor GNU FDL.  Then we would need the GNU people add a line to GNU FDL 
2.0 granting any GNU FDL content without invariant sections, back/front cover 
texts etc to be relicensed under either the CC-by-sa or the  LGFDL 

IMO it would be rude to use a change in license to just dump GNU. I'm just 
want all the major copyleft licenses to be compatible. An added bonus of us 
creating a LGFDL is that we could write it for maximum usefullness to free 
content wikis and downstream content users.
