What about importing policy pages from, say, Wikipedia? Does Wikinews 
rewrite them from scratch or license them under GFDL? They're also 
licensed under GFDL in the other projects. By the way, this was a real 
discussion I had on IRC with some Wikinewsie, I'd say we shouldn't 
bother too much but what if some author of a policy page on Wikipedia 
complains that Wikinews violated his/her copyright by importing the 
policy page and licensing it with something different from GFDL?
