I agree quite strongly. One reason behind
susning.nu's impressive growth
has been the excellent response time of your site. Viewing it almost makes
me wish I spoke Swedish, just because it's so pleasant to browse. In fact,
In November and December 2002, many users jumped from susning.nu to
sv.wikipedia because of the licensing rules, leading to sv.wikipedia's
rise from 265 to 2650 articles in a month (and 11600 today). That
jump would have been quite unthinkable before May 2002, when Wikipedia
was so painfully slow.
This shows that GNU FDL licensing rules can be important to attract
(certain, very active) users, but website performance is even more
important. (The cynical example of Wernher von Braun comes to mind:
Having worked for the nazis is less of a problem if you are a leading
rocket scientist.)
