Not a good idea. Apart from anything else the most obvious targets
would be the various wikimedia projects and the FSF.
1) I wasn't serious, and
2) I don't see how. Book/Webpage uses CC-BY-SA or GFDL image from
Commons. Commons author sues book/webpage author for (in their eyes)
breaking the license by not releasing the book/webpage under the same
license. Then we would know a legal interpretation.
Of course, if it was the "wrong" interpretation, we'd be a bit screwed
and have to do a hella lotta cleanup real quick. (Wikinews could only
use CC-BY or PD images. The rest could only use GFDL or CC-BY or PD
images, so I imagine there would be an incredible dual-licensing
drive.) But at least we would know for sure.
Well, given that, I'm rather glad we don't know after all. ;)
