Forum:GPL instead of GFDL possible?

The Wikia copyrights page mentions licensing exceptions: "Some wikis hosted by Wikia are licensed under a Creative Commons license. [...] All are under Creative Commons licenses because they started externally and later moved to Wikia."

I started the Wikia "Bonlingva vortaro" (eo.vortaro.wikia.com), which aims at creating an Esperanto dictionary using certain principles. Now the idea is to take over many definitions from Reta Vortaro (reta-vortaro.de), which is under GPL.

Given that GPL and GFDL share the same basic philosophy, and given that Wikia already allowed Creative Common licenses, I hope that it might be possible to make another licensing exception for the Bonlingva vortaro, so that it can use GPL instead of GFDL. (As to what is already on the Bonlingva vortaro up to now, that has all been created by me, so it shouldn't be a problem to give it a different license; if that is a problem, I could restart from scratch anyway, as not much work has been put into it so far.)

If no licensing exception can be made for the Bonlingva vortaro, I will have to look for another wiki farm to continue the project. Marcos 21:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
