==questions other people want to know the answer to==

1)Is this part of a plot against the FSF by Creative Common zealots
(or words to that effect probably want to rephrase that one. Worth
mentioning that this is probably more WMF driven than CC)?

2)Does this weaken the guarantees on the GPL that the FSF will not
compromise it's principles?

3)What about new material added to wikipedia after nov 1st (yes I know
that answer but appears to be a common mistake)?

4)why did wikipedia go for GFDL in the first place?

==probably going to come up==

5)Will the average user notice any difference?

6)Will editors have to do anything different?

7)aside from the vote will editors have to do anything to make the
changeover happen?

==What I want to know==

8)Has there been any contact between Art Libre and CC over moveing
towards a final "grand unified free license"?
