Yuck. Ohwell. I guess it's GFDL images, CC-BY-SA text, or just do it anyway and hope no one sues (because, it'd be an incredibly dumb thing to sue over). The latter solution isn't an option for the WMF, of course. (Unless maybe the "no one is going to sue" could be disguised as "fair use"...)
GFDL and PD. CC-BY maybe. Then the uses MIT ect..
Oh yeah, and also there's the hope that GSFDL may one day be CC-BY-SA compatible.
GSFDL has other issues to get over first (still has some invariant sections due to things like preserve copyright notices).
Other issues are keeping tract of what is licsensed under what and credit.
That's a relatively minor issue, I'd think. Just keep track of it and scroll it in the credits at the end of the video.
Only doable if you treat the thing as a single derivative. Please don't ask about documents entitled history.
I wonder how hard it'd be to hack up a proof of concept using a spoken wikipedia article and some commons images, putting it together using either Avid Free DV or Windows Movie Maker. Under fair use, of course. :)
Fairly trivial from a technical point of view. Assuming you know how to use the command line and download http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/download.html. Otherwise I think SUPER is the only thing that does the relevant codec conversations and it has issues.
If you wanted to make it easy copyright wise you would use something PD image based or where you hold the copyright on the images.
Low quality version could probably be thrown together in an hour or less.
