Also, I followed the GNU FDL compatibility link and it didnt go anywhere, does anyone have the good link ?
You /cannot/ create your own license terms Karl - until we resolve this issue on the mailing list the /only/ terms that are to be followed are this;
Please note that all contributions to Wikipedia are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License (see Wikipedia:Copyrights for details). If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then don't submit it here.
You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!
This is the only thing people agree to when submitting. Please see the talk page. But you can certainly /ask/ other people who work on the organic chemistry book whether or not they will also release their own work under other licenses. However you cannot require them to do so.
We have always been able to /informally/ have disjoint licenses - you can release all original work by yourself under any license you want. But what licenses are enforced on the Wikimedia server is a matter of policy - which we still are in the middle of debating.
