also, Dutch Wikibooks made the switch for all new content after 15 April 2007 already for the dual license CC-BY-SA / GFDL, so nothing new here for them, except that old content will finally /all/ be dual licensed :) (no more exceptions on pages with older versions).
A big notice in the general sitenotice for all visitors might be worth while btw to reach all re-users. best, lodewijk 2009/5/22 Liam Wyatt <liamwy...@gmail.com> > Congratulations to everyone involved in the effort to get this happening! > It's been a long road - a longer road than many of us have seen. > > Just a quick point I'd like to raise about Wikinews in relation to the > license change. > > Wikinews has never used GFDL or cc-by-sa, it uses cc-by.
