One interesting possibility (if unlikely) they discussed would

intentionally misinterpret/reinterpret/ignore the GFDL by
relicensing
Wikipedia content under CC-by-sa, with the hopes of establishing compatibility in court. I know little about the legal aspects
or the
chances of success, but if it worked it would be nice for
us... it
would give a chance to switch licenses without having to take
the
legal risk.

While we're on the topic of changing licenses, does anyone know whether any further information has come to light about whether Wikipedia could relicense under the [[GNU Simplified Free Documentation License]]? I haven't seen any new news for the last several months, and when I asked him about it, Brad said to wait for new news - but nothing's been said AFAIK, and now Brad's gone...
