True but pretty much a given

If we are to switch this has to be the case yes (to be exact GFDL 1.?-.3)

This allows us to not duel license anything added to wikipedia after
the switchover so if the switchover is november 30 you can determine
if the article is duel licensed by seeing it has been edited post Nov
30 2008. That would appear to simplify matters.
