We should accept CC 3.0 on commons ASAP.

The dogmatic free content definition is worthless because there are
enough cases for which we accept not-free content. See e.g.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:FAQ_Rechtliches#Sind_alle_Inhalte_der_Wikipedia_unterm_Strich_frei.3F
http://www.bverfg.de/entscheidungen/rk20050214_1bvr024004.html (Court
decision in German)

In Germany it is not possible to waive all copyright personality
rights (Urheberpersönlichkeitsrecht). If some one uses Wikipedia
content in a explicitely Neo-Nazi context then GNU FDL cannot allow
this:
