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

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.
So why can't a fork be in compliance with the GFDL? You said that "The GFDL 1.2 license is so bad that any fork would still be looking to use CC just in a slightly more legal way." What do you mean by this?
