The new GFDL looks like an interesting development, but i think we should at
least look at the possibility of dual-licensing new projects under GFDL and
CC-BY-SA (the same as with pictures on commons).

Here's a thought... could all new Wikimedia
sites, no matter what
language
or project, be created under a Creative Commons
license, instead of
GFDL? We
of course cannot change existing sites over to
that slimmer, trimmer
license, but it would be a good idea for any new works.

Would create problems with translations and other tanswiki stuff.
Creative commons also has it's own issues. People have problems
understanding the lisence mixes
CC-by-ND-NC
CC-by-Sa-NC
CC-by-ND
Founder's copyright
Developing nations CC
CC wiki licence
It gets messy
Secondly creative commons tends to be more interested in the author
rather than the reuser. The FSF tends to operate the other way around.
CC lisences also have a tendacy not to quite do what they say on the
tin which can lead to people being missled.
At the present time the proposed LGFDL looks like a better bet.
