There is a tremendously important reason why all our text-based projects should be under the same (or at least compatible) license: To alow inter-project copying. It would be absurd to not be able to copy text back and forth between Wikibooks and Wikipedia, for example. All our text should be under the same license (images can very easily be regarded as aggregations, so we can be more lax with them, IMO). We chose the FDL, so for the time being we are stuck with the FDL. In the future I would like to see us migrate to a GNU FCL or at least to an improved FDL. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
