This is excellent news, especially for those of us who have been wishing for license migration for some time now. We all obviously need to take some time to read over the new version of the license, but if it's everything we had hoped for, we should probably update 'books to use this new license instead of the old 1.2 version.
Maybe we should post a copy of the new license at [[b:Wikibooks:GFDL Version 1.3]] and open up a discussion on the wiki

For those who aren't on foundation-l, news has arrived that the GFDL 1.3 was released, containing the relicensing clause which could allow us to move to CC-by-sa-3.0 My general impression has been that we think this is a good thing, and we would discuss it if/when the option arrived. So, let's start thinking about this some more. I suggest reading the new bits of the license, the FAQ and perhaps reviewing some comments on foundation-l if you need background. I look forward to some fruitful discussion.
