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. http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2003-November/000157.html 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. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)
