Forum:Is it possible to use GPL instead of GFDL for code snippets?

Is it possible to have code snippets and example programs on a Wikia wiki fall under the GPL instead of the GFDL? The reason I'm asking is that the GPL is more adequately tailored to protecting code, doing a much better job keeping it free, and although some code snippets I might add will be simple enough that I don't mind putting them in the public domain, longer snippets I really wouldn't want to put under the GFDL. 82.139.86.190 19:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I read somewhere that you cant put GPL code on a GFDL wiki page because licenses are incompatible. We can not neither include GFDL documentation bits inside GPL code.
 * But i'll let others users here confirm that. — TulipVorlax 19:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It sounds like dual licensing might be the best option. That way you can mix the code with GFDL content but still use the code outside the wiki under the GPL. Angela (talk) 03:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Can an entire wiki be dual-licensed by default, like what Wikimedia is trying to do? --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 03:35, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
