I still dont see Evans point -- what would be the reason for breaking from GNU FDL at all? Its not the software that drives wiki -- its the open principle that drives the softwares development (no to mention the WP's resonance) -- the FDL is simply a way to codify that principle. Quote: "Contributors (OK, all 20 so far B-) and redistributors of Wikitravel"
That 20, considering the WP ratio of 1000 contributors/100 regulars (?)-- might be more like 2. If you bog down your project with unnecessary legalese -- you might be holding steady at 2 until fresh-baked Plutonium-239 has gone through a few half-lives.

Ah, yes. And, being as wikitravel.org and every
contributor would be
copying, deriving, etc., this is kind of a
problem.
I'm really grateful for the Wikipedia software,
and I'd like to figure
out a way to make Wikipedia and Wikitravel content
miscible. If it was
just _me_ having to put up with the hassle, well,
that's fine.
But, y'know, it's not me who'd pay the price. It's
all the
contributors (OK, all 20 so far B-) and
redistributors of Wikitravel
that would have to pay. I don't think that's
really fair.
I still don't see the problem. If you dual license Wikitravel, your authors will have no direct disadvantage whatsoever. It's just another sentence on the article submission form. Both licenses grant derivative rights.
Regards,
Erik
