“Wikis often import material from a wide variety of sources,
many of which use the CC-BY-SA license,” said Brett Smith,
licensing compliance engineer at the FSF. “Wikipedia, however, uses
the GNU FDL. The incompatibility between these two licenses has
been an obstacle to moving material back and forth between these
sites. The new provision of FDL version 1.3 will give Wikipedia and
other wikis another chance to choose the licensing policies they
prefer.”
