hypocritical.
It might, if this were a project that fights against intellectual property rights. It isn't. It's a project that fights *for* intellectual property rights *for everyone*.
... as long as it is understood that "everyone" is defined as "everyone who is able and willing to use a license compatible with GFDL". Those who for various reasons use one of the couple dozen incompatible open content licenses are granted by us only a single right: the right to read. That's exactly what they get from encyclopedia.com as well.
