All,
We've chosen a license. It's CC-by-sa.
(Technically, CC-by-sa version 3.0 unported.)
Our press release can be found here:

And Larry's essay on why CC-by-sa is here:
http://www.citizendium.org/czlicense.html
It's long, but I think it's quite a solid piece of
argument.
So, what does this mean? If Wikipedia does choose to
(in effect) relicense under CC-by-sa, as looks likely,
our projects will be able to seamlessly share content.
I think this will be good for Citizendium, good for
Wikipedia, and good for individual contributors split
between the two projects.
