[Foundation-l] Licenses, again

[Peter van Londen]

Small correction. We double licensed both GFDL and CC-BY-SA 2.5 on
nl.wikibooks, so for every book that is now being started the reuser can
choose the license. It also makes reuse of material from wikibooks in
wikipedia possible.

The double license is to be preferred in my opinion.
