 * That can't be done right now. This work is licensed under the GFDL, and no decision has been announced yet by the WMF, that I know of, whether to move towards CC-BY-SA, to stick with the GFDL or what. Until the WMF comes out with the decision GFDL and CC-BY-SA licensed works cannot be mixed. --dark lama  21:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually scratch that after a second look I noticed the content is under CC-BY not CC-BY-SA, which isn't going to be allowed. --dark lama  22:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * CC-BY is incompatible with the GFDL, and unlike CC-BY-SA there is no potential plains to allow its use for text material in the near future. --dark lama  11:31, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the Creative Commons wiki "CC-by is one-way-compatible with GFDL - meaning that CC-by content can be used in GFDL work, by not vice-versa."--Darrelljon (talk) 13:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The source for the above is James Grimmelmann, Associate Professor at New York Law School, (Institute for Information Law and Policy).--Darrelljon (talk) 13:42, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * With the recent update to the GFDL, compatibility may no longer be true. If one-way-compatibility is still true there should be no need to include the cc-by license because it can be relicense under the GFDL, only attribution would be required. --dark lama  16:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So should I add it again but attributing OOoAuthors instead of mentioning CC-BY? As for the recent update to the GFDL I cannot find any information on this.--Darrelljon (talk) 15:23, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess that would work/should be fine. With the recent announcement pertaining to license update vote, Wikibooks along with other projects should be moving to a dual licensing model by about June 15th. As for the recent GFDL update, see http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html, the license version is 1.3 now rather then 1.2. --dark lama  13:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
