O.k. but then we have to make this very clear that the GFDL applies _not_ to all the content we provide.
Isn't this already too late? You can only dual license copyleft material if all copyright holders agree to it. The people who have posted stuff so far on Wikipedia have posted it under GFDL exclusively.
If we want to combine different licenses, we have to track down all contributers for each relevant article, and get their permisson. Otherwise, we're breaking GFDL.
These are good questions.
I see it the same way as you do, but Erik claims (at least for images) that these are different pages with a different license that are added together by the server and by that we don't violate the GFDL. So he basically says that he found a loophole in the GFDL which allows mixing free / non-free content.
