Same thought occurred to me. NL Wikibooks is also dual licensed, and
it is with that respect a small pain in the ass. I think that
especially for new wiki's with brand new users this is not very
practical, as they have already trouble enough to understand what a
free license is at all... (and now they'll be told that they can't
even translate articles from other Wikipediae, but they can translate
from french to english? :S)

I think it would be good if this would be reconsidered if this
argument did not come up yet.
