Why not a WFDL (a WikiFDL) that branches off from the GFDL license? We had
some discussion about this before --  a license that only applies to wiki
projects
because of the differences that make the FDL so hard to interpret in this
kind of
collaboration intensive interactive environment. Thus it is specifically not
to be
considered a successor licence (as it is not the GFDL but the WFDL) so it
protects
all other GFDL licensors) but it deals with the interactive and common
practices on
wikis to use various quasi-public domain licensing schemes that attempts to
protect moral right of attribution in non-moral rights jurisdictions. Too
bad
Wikipedia is not in a truly compliant Berne country we could do this in a
fashion
that is a lot more elegant.

Perhaps the FDF might consider such an approach.
