Again, and I really can't stress this enough: These "fundamental
rules" are not global! en.wikinews DOES NOT USE THE GFDL. It uses
CC-BY instead, which is still free but isn't the same thing.
en.wikiversity, en.wikisource, and en.wikiquote have very different
meanings for NPOV then en.wikiversity does. Do yourself a favor and
check out WV's policy page on the matter:
