Could you please look at the footer of hu.wikinews.org ; if it is a
misunderstanding, I would be really glad, but on the other hand all the
older contributions would have to be sorted out (I believe the hu.wikinews
started in the incubator, which if I recall correctly is under GFDL; than
once set up it went to this strange construction of GFDL+; and now it should
go back to CC-BY if what you say is right). Alternatively , if the newer
contributions could be under the CC-BY license (as the reusability of old
news and some parts of the interface or templates is not really a must; the
newer articles could be under the correct license without interfering with
the older ones).

Thanks,
