Well, you seem to have been misinformed on all your points. But I see them filling a different niche from Wikipedia anyway.
I have my doubts as to whether or not DU will be successful. It's really a matter of how well it's managed. I think the idea is a good one, though. (I've personally watched a company I've co-founded, with a similar idea, waste millions of dollars and go out of business, during the dot-com days. Actually when I showed this to one of the other co-founders he asked me if this was our old CEO, who botched the thing up back then, trying the idea again. It isn't.)
I just hope they feel that they can use some of what we have done (commons, perhaps, as a minimum) and dont try to remake the world from scratch. And realising this, use a compatible license.
