Maybe we (the royal we, the WMF) need to put some pressure on the FSF to create a new GFDL version that is not so inhibitive as what we are currently using. Our copyright notice already states that content is released under "all future versions of the GFDL", so the transition would be transparent. Since WMF is one of the biggest users of the GFDL, i think we could exert that kind of pressure.
i think that pressure is already being felt with the Free Software Foundations draft the new FDL and SFDL http://gplv3.fsf.org/doclic-dd1-guide.html http://gplv3.fsf.org/sfdl-draft-2006-09-26.html
As for the dual issues...I'm just after some clarification...does Wikibooks actually stop someone from putting 'This book is licensed under the FDL and <insert license here>'? when putting a book on Wikibooks?
