A solution that Jimbo suggested for a similar problem on wikinews, was
to require not only all contributions to be licensed under the
gfdl/cc/whatever but also a proviso that by editing you agree to allow
wikimedia to put your contributions under any license they want. So it
will always be gfdl/cc for ever no matter what wikimedia does or says,
but it can also be relicensed under a different license so that (for
example) it could be easily distributed in the .dict fromat.

btw, every time i look at wiktionary i just get more and more exicted
about its possibilites. It is such a potentialy awesome tool for
linguists, teachers, students of a second language, etc .

peace out,
