Wikipedia's use of the GFDL is already absurd. If you want to make any sense of things you have to look beyond the GFDL.

Under clause 9 aren't we already in breach of the license due to the fact that many things on wikipedia are multi licensed and despite our best efforts the licenses don't always match up with each other totally?
