The articles are worth very little, even if they weren't under the
GFDL.  The domain name is worth a lot, though not, in my opinion, $7
billion.  The $7 billion figure assumes ads could be implemented
without any costs and without traffic going down.  I say ads, traffic,
no expenses - pick two.  Facebook picked 1 and 2.  Wikipedia picked 2
and 3.  My websites picked 1 and 3.
