GFDL 1.3: Wikipedia's exit permitGFDL 1.3: Wikipedia's exit permitPosted Nov 10, 2008 15:13 UTC (Mon) by njwhite (subscriber, #51848)Parent article: GFDL 1.3: Wikipedia's exit permit
I don't see why the FSF is doing this - why aren't they focusing on getting the FDL 2.0, and more importantly the SFDL (Simpler FDL) done? As far as I can see the SFDL should resolve all of the problems the wikipedia folks have with the current FDL; why add some ugly clause allowing them to change to a CC license when they could just get a license everyone agrees on out the door under the rubric of the FSF?
Or am I misunderstanding something here?

I'd also like to see progress with the SFDL. I made comments on that draft during the period when the GPLv3 was also being reviewed, and the SFDL seems like a real opportunity to have a simple, rigourous, copyleft licence for all kinds of content, not just documentation.
