The GFDL v2 draft contains the following:
[8b. WIKI RELICENSING
If the Work was previously published, with no Cover Texts, no Invariant Sections, and no Acknowledgements or Dedications or Endorsements section, in a system for massive public collaboration under version 1.2 of this License, and if all the material in the Work was either initially developed in that collaboration system or had been imported into it before 1 June 2006, then you may relicense the Work under the GNU Wiki License.]
Would anyone at the Wikimedia foundation like to make a public comment about this?

At least for those of us in the general public (perhaps the foundation has inside info?), this section is impossible to evaluate until the FSF releases a draft of the GNU Wiki license (a phrase that currently has zero google hits).
