Investing in a copyright lawsuit with no obvious remedy is not exactly a smart investment decision. And rich people can afford lawyers who will tell them just this. Okay, I am grateful for your admission that you have no facts in support in this point. That's actually not the flaw in Pascal's Wager, but why do you assume there's "zero cost" associated with *not* migrating Wikipedia content to a version of GFDL that makes it more useful? Yes, and by all means we should let our decisionmaking be held hostage by those with more money than sense -- or at least now that's what I understand your argument to be. Effectively the same argument, in my view. "It's possible, but the consequences would be infinitely terrible!" Pascal's Wager again. Well, we'd have a very interesting case if the copyright holder proceeded in France or Germany to judgment and then tried to enforce the judgment in a U.S. court. Multinational litigation is a great hobby for millionaires, I guess, but not for most people. I'll be on the lookout for millionaire Wikipedians who'd rather destroy WMF than allow relicensing under a new version of GFDL. I'm sure that's a very large class of individuals. --Mike
