I think you need a better introduction, i.e. something even more basic than "Why move". The people on this list know what's going on, but many Wikipedians and others pay negligible attention to GFDL issues.

I would suggest either adding an explanatory header, or starting with an even more basic question like "What change is being proposed?". You need something that addresses "What" is going on before getting into the "Why" and "How".

As per earlier comments, I've posted a first set of Questions and Answers related to a possible licensing update from GFDL to CC-BY-SA as the primary content license (with GFDL retained as a secondary license) for Wikimedia Foundation projects, here:

This is intended to be an iterative process, so please add questions directly to the page, if you want. In the understanding that this Q&A is meant to reflect the Wikimedia Foundation's position on these issues, please feel free to help flesh out and clarify the answers. Once the document has stabilized, I'll also send out a note that it's ready for translation.

We'll follow up with a "proposal for a proposal", per the Q&A, by January 15, 2009. -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation
