This is a great win for the free knowledge community in general, but learning for development in particular.
Assuming a successful outcome to the community vote, the WikiEducator community -- through Learning4Content -- will be able to add considerable value to the educational use of WMF projects in a variety of contexts. Learning4Content is a pretty big project and to the best of my knowledge will be the largest training initiative in Mediawiki editing skills. I commend the WMF board for their bold approach in taking this resolution. We compatibility among the copyleft alternatives of the free content licenses will enable us to leverage the unique capabilities of digital content. Digital content is infinitively scalable and this will have a huge impact on widening access to free knowledge. The WMF is one of only a few free content initiatives that actually define what they mean by "free" content through the free cultural works definition. This will be an asset in the voting process because WMF will be able to focus on the values rather than pragmatic idiosyncrasies. >From us here at WE -- CONGRATULATIONS WMF for leading again.
