It's a problem we can deal with in much the same way as any copyvio
issue. This days we are bringing in very little off wiki text so it is
unlikely to present a significant issue.

Images are more of a problem both in terms of the question of if we
have prominent tools to edit them and the issue that we will need to
kill off the GFDL 1.2 exclusive images (although we always knew that
would happen).
