Each article on most editions on wikipedia are licenced under "GFDL 1.2 or later", but articles on ja.wp are currently licenced under "GFDL 1.1 or later". But, some images and some articles on ja.wp are duplicated from other language edition of wikipedia, it seems GFDL violation because GFDL version imcompatibility. ("Permission is granted to use under GFDL 1.2 or later" can be read "Permission isn't granted under GFDL 1.1 or prior")
If licence on ja.wp shifted to "GFDL 1.2 or later" simply, can their "Duplicated articles and images" be relieved from GFDL version imcompatibility because article 9 of GFDL licence? (Can article 9 of GFDL licence used to relieve them from GFDL version imcompatibility?)

This means that you cannot translate articles from en.wikipedia (and some others) to ja.wikipedia.

I was planning to eventually propose such a shift for en.wikisource and en.wikiquote. Both projects, plus sep11.wikipedia, all currently use "GFDL" without a version number (effectively the same as "GFDL 1.1 or later") for everything (project pages, talk pages) except sources and quotes. However, some of the project pages are adaptations from en.wikipedia.
