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".
