I'm not opposed to this in theory, but it isn't as simple as this, because the instant someone copies something from wikipedia's encyclopedia project to a textbook, the GNU FDL kicks in for at least that portion of the text.
Modern educational theorists talk a lot about "learning objects". Connexions Projects for example consists of a lot of different "modules" that can make up a textbook. Basically they are all, separate, little chapters.
With this approach, using something of the Wikipedia would bring only that module onder the FDL, not the whole textbook.
