Ony a chance? Phooey.
Larry has posted to citizendium-l saying that with the WMF/FSF/CC
announcement, that a future GFDL will be CC-by-sa compatible, that the
Citizendium licence *will not* be GFDL. (Which is IMO quite sensible,
'cos the GFDL sucks for massive-collaboration articles of a few pages,
for images, for motion pictures ...)
Yeah, but the other possibility is that the license will be CC-BY-NC-SA.
The very fact that Larry expects people to contribute their work to
Citizendium without even knowing what license is going to be used
strikes me as incredibly wrong.
Please don't contribute to Citizendium. Not yet. If you think you
might want to, drop a note to Larry telling him to pick a license
first. And preferably, tell him not to pick a non-commercial only
license.

*cough* It's an ideal to work towards.
