[Foundation-l] Wikibooks NL is changing License

[Jerome Banal]

Hi,

For records, a similar request has been made to the board after some
discussions on the list for allowing a potential switch to dual-licensing
for Wiktionary FR beginning of December.
This has still not received approval so I suppose you decided this without
seeking this first. Am I wrong?
Not at all that I am complaining, I would be happy to see this happening,
but I suppose that as no answer has come that means that the Foundation
might see some problems with it. In particular, it seems that they have a
lot of discussions with FSF and CC regarding licensing right now, so I guess
they don't have much visibility about potential changes.

Regards,
Jerome (Eden2004)
