Agreed - but I think the risk here is so minimal, that we can decide upon a license and push the deadline back one week, which would give contributors a chance to add the new license to their own pages. Pros: * We may get revised/improved/edited content by increasing the number of people involved. * Intent or nuance will not be accidentally changed.
I also thought about going through and deleting a page, putting a GNU FDL 1.2 statement at the top of the page, and then summarizing/redoing the old content. This way, any future contributions are protected. Cool? Yet again, I propose we do this at 11:59 PM PST SAT JAN 27 so we can knock this out. What do you think?
Unless we have any parties - FIC, individual contributors or editors - who feel that extending that deadline by one week would be putting them under additional risk, then I'd say +1 week is an appropriate response to a pragmatic estimate of the extreme unlikelihood of the occurrence or significance of the threat.
