Hoi, It has been discussed already a long time that a new project is NOT a tabula rasa. Content is to be moved from the Incubator. The Incubator IS GFDL licensed. What I now understand is that the existing contributors are to re-license their content .... I think this is a sad moment because everything becomes even more muddled. What I hope for is that these projects are created preferably today. Thanks, GerardM

I'm not sure this is possible. All approved wikis already have an extensive body of articles in the Incubator licensed under the GFDL.
Yes, this is understood. Under the clause I proposed in response to effe, online at: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Licensing_clause_for_new_wikis this will not be a problem. All the clause requires is that contributors commit to licensing their edits under CC-BY-SA in the event that the existing wiki content can be safely migrated, which in part depends on the FDL 1.3.
