Incidentally, the "Version 1.2 or any later version" wording on the edit 
window is an exclusively English Wikipedia phenomenon, but does not 
appear elsewhere that I am aware. Click edit at Wiktionary and you'll 
notice that you are only agreeing to release it under the GFDL. Even the 
wording on enwp only dates from March 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Edittools&diff=114707455&oldid=113156147>. 
Hopefully there is more to the argument than the "clicking submit" 
point, considering that the "or later" clause tends to be buried in some 
project-space "Copyright" page.
