(I do not think wikipedia will be allowed to drop ShareAlike, which pretty much means static license. If wikipedia's license changes at all, then it will be for matters of style.) Information on wajoop is clearly inferior for readability reasons, so I do not know why it would become popular as an authoritative resource. Even if a human starts cleaning up translations, the hundred and fifty thousand eyes on wikipedia will still outclass just about everyone but the big boys, and when it comes points of view that really need more understanding, even them. Getting listed on google is hard to avoid. Do not worry about competition from wajoop. If they do run commercials, then people will be drawn to their source, that is if they do not find wikipedia, first, which is probable outside of some security and word of mouth disaster -- citations on web pages and such.
