While we're on the topic of changing licenses, does anyone know 
whether any further information has come to light about whether 
Wikipedia could relicense under the [[GNU Simplified Free 
Documentation License]]? I haven't seen any new news for the last 
several months, and when I asked him about it, Brad said to wait 
for new news - but nothing's been said AFAIK, and now Brad's 
gone...
