What about the GFDL 1.2 is so bad that it is unusable? Clean up the history tracking, add five names next to each article title, add a copyright statement at the bottom of each article, turn on the "real name" preference, and it seems like you could bring Wikipedia into compliance. You might have to forego dreams of a print edition, but frankly that doesn't seem very effective anyway. You could probably build a hand powered e-reader for less than the cost of printing all of Wikipedia - if not today than in the not too distant future.
Wikipedia is in compliance with the GFDL. It's resuers who have serious issues. But then I've been through this with you many times and I don't see any reason to think you are any more likely to get it this time around.
