GFDL 1.3: Wikipedia's exit permit

Only if they were also wikis, as I'm reading it. That means only forks are eligible, not just mirrors. It's very narrow. Although thankfully not as narrow as it could be -- it could have just flat-out said only the Wikimedia Foundation could relicense its wikis, which would be really unfortunate for forks.
