Hello all,

the Free Software Foundation has today released the version 1.3 of the
GNU Free Documentation License, the licensed used by Wikipedia. This
version of the GFDL allows GFDL-wikis to switch to CC-BY-SA - see
section 11, relicensing:

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html

Wikimedia hasn't decided to switch yet, but we plan to hold a
community referendum on the issue very soon. If we do switch, I'll let
you know - it would enable two-way legal compatibility with
WikiEducator and similar educational resources.
