Funny... GFDL rules (and Wikipedians' interpretations of them) seemed 
to trump everything else, in some people's assessment, where WP:BJODN 
was concerned.  It's interesting how policies, even ones based on 
real-world concerns like copyright law, are not considered important 
in themselves, but only as bludgeons to enforce whatever the enforcer 
wishes to happen for other reasons; when a particular policy is 
harmful rather than helpful to one's agenda, it's quickly discarded.
