With an "official" cannibalization of Wikipedia arcticles for Nupedia articles there would be no content - people do not like it to write without being acknowledged.
What are you talking about? By law the Nupedia article would have to give full credit to Wikipedia and have a link back. Our content is already being used in many, many other places as well - this is not cannibalism. That is the whole point of the GNU FDL - re-usability of the text.
I think what Ulrich is most worried about is he doesn't want a stable encyclopedia to be a fork. This can be easily avoid by puting a link to the current Wikipedia article on hte Nupedia version, labeled "Edit the latest version of this article".
