You can already choose your language in the current MW versions.
At Wikipedia of course too.

by-sa would sound better to me.
The problem of GFDL at Wikipedia is that it was meant for software
documentation and stuff like a detailed history is not possible
if you want to print wikipedia. Better find the basics of the license,
free distribution, share alike and name the authors. you can have
that with the CC too and even better, the CC is approved for European
countries in an official translation (something why I really hate the FDL).

A wiki for a software might be a border-line case but I'd prefer the CC.

Anyone already working on fitting the MW layout to Scriubs? I'd love to
do that job.

ciao, tom
